PRODUCT CARE INSTRUCTIONS

CERAMIC PRODUCTS Proper way of cleaning and taking care of products:

• Ceramic sanitary products, are very easily cleaned. For frequent cleaning of the ceramic sanitary products, usual daily detergents can be used. The smooth, waterproof and durable surfaces, withstand all usual acid and alkaline solutions found in a household. • Just one coffee-spoon of soft soap in the mop bucket, is enough to make the surfaces clean again. • Detergents with vinegar, or soft vinegar solution, can easily remove salts. In case of difficult stains, leave a piece of cloth soaked in vinegar, on top overnight. There is a large number of detergents in the market, especially for salt removal and others, with vinegar as a basis. Spread a quantity on the stains and rinse after a while. • You must, though, be careful with all fluoride substances found in rust removal detergents, or toothpastes. All stains must be immediately removed, otherwise there will be spots left. • Sometimes, the stains are not removed, as mentioned in the cleaning instructions. In this case, we recommend liquid, or creamy bath detergents. The result can be enhanced, if you use a non-abrasive sponge. • For WC bowls, a soft cloth is enough for frequent cleaning. You can also use the appropriate cleaning product for plastics, that does not scrape and does not contain acids. When you clean the bowl, lift both the cover and the seat, so that they do not come in contact with the cleaning product. Important information: Even products such as liquid soaps, shampoos and foam baths used for body cleaning, can cause damage. Rinse with water after use. FITTINGS PRODUCTS Cleaning products must be compatible with the manufacturing materials. In order to avoid inflicting damages, certain conditions must be met, both when using, as well as during cleaning. The range of public spaces, extends from hospitals to restaurants, hotels and accommodation. Due to the fact that there are differences among the presence of dirt and salts in the above mentioned cases, their frequency of cleaning varies. Therefore, the criterion for the selection of the appropriate cleaning product, is strongly related to the cleaning schedule. However, the following factors must be taken into consideration: 1. space 2. frequency and depth of cleaning 3. type of products 4. condition of products • Frequent cleaning reduces the presence of salts • Salts are removed with special cleaning products • Do not use the product directly on the fittings. Pour it on a cloth, or sponge, in places that the cloth can reach, so as to avoid damage • Rinse the product with clean water, so as to remove the last residues Wrong way of cleaning and care of products: • Do not use cleaning products containing acid salts, formic acid and vinegar acids, as they can cause irreparable damage. Also, avoid using cleaning products containing phosphoric acid, since they can be dangerous • Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine bleach • Do not use cleaning products that can cause scratches, rough sponges, or cloth with micro-fibers • Mixing different cleaning products, is forbidden Important information: Even products such as liquid soaps, shampoos and foam baths used for body cleaning, can cause damage. Rinse with water after use. BATHROOM FURNITURE Proper way of cleaning and taking care of products: • Bathroom furniture is very easily cleaned because the surfaces are either made of layers of wood or coloured lacquer. • Use a soft cloth and soft cleaning products, i.e. diluted detergents. • Glass surfaces and mirrors are better cleaned with a common glass cleaner. • A dry cloth is also a quick solution to dry possible water remains that should not stay on the furniture surface for long. Wrong way of cleaning and care of products: Under no circumstances should you use abrasive sponges or cleaning products containing all kind of acids, because they can damage or scratch furniture surfaces. Wrong way of cleaning and care of products: Do not use detergent sponges with an abrasive surface, the smooth surfaces will be scratched. Proper way of cleaning and taking care of products: • Apply proper cleaning product • Do not let the cleaning products act for more time than required

Important information: Ensure that all bathroom furniture electrical appliances, built-in lighting or other electrical fixtures are not in contact with the water.

BATHTUBS AND SHOWER TRAYS Proper way of cleaning and taking care of products:

• Cleaning and taking care of acrylic bathtubs/shower trays can be done without any problem. Residues rarely remain on their surfaces. • For the usual, simple treatment, rub the bathtub/shower tray immediately after taking your bath, using a soft sponge or piece of cloth with some cleaning product on it. Rinse with clean water and it is ready. • Salt deposits can be removed with some vinegar. Rinse well afterwards. • If the acrylic surface, after some years, has lost its shine, you can polish it without fear (i.e. with the Ideal Standard care set). Wrong way of cleaning and care of products: Under no circumstances should you use cleaning sponges with an abrasive surface. Do not use micro-fiber cloths. Their action is based on abrasion and the smoothing of micro-fibers. This, though, can scratch surfaces.
