Care Bathware

PRODUCT CARE BATHWARE

To ensure that you receive leasing pleasure from your Rocell Bathware products with minimum effort, please observe the following advice on product care and maintenance.

They are based on our experience and judgement, but must not be regarded as amounting to be a legal liability on our part. These recommendations are intended to assist you; our customer.

TOILET SUITE

Use a mild detergent or warm soapy water and clean with a soft cloth. Wipe the product dry after each use. Soft abrasive cleaners maybe used when necessary to clean Rocell Bathware Vitreous China products. Strong abrasive cleaners will scratch and dull the surface. Do not use in-tank toilet cleaners, as they can damage the flush valve or other working parts. Wipe any splashes of cleaner solution from plastic or plated surfaces immediately.

SCRATCHES

Avoid contact with hard, sharp objects. Should scratches occur on plastic products, fine marks can be removed using a cutting compound normally used for car care re-treatment, followed by buffing with a car polish and a clean soft cloth.

DISCOLOURATION

Iodine, Mercurochrome solution, boot polish, hair dye, bleach and the like would discolour the surface if not removed immediately. Avoid using cleaning solutions intended for the toilet bowl to clean the seat and seat cover as this will stain and discolour the product. Provided the discolouration is not severe, restore the surface as described for scratches.

BURNS

Avoid placing hot objects, such as curling tongs and lit cigarettes on any plastic surface, as these will certainly cause discolouration and marking. However, should slight accidental damage occur, it may be possible to remove mark as for scratches.

Never use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the surface. Where your faucets/accessories remain dry in use, a soft cloth can be used to remove surface dust. Alternatively, a wipe over with soapy water is all that is required to maintain the finish in perfect condition for a lifetime of use. The use of wax based furniture cream should be avoided as these can result in a build up of deposits, which could detract from the appearance. Do not use undue pressure and wipe in one direction only. Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, acid or chemicals that can damage the surface of the faucets or accessories. Rinse and be sure to wipe the entire surface dry. Use only a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge to wipe the surface clean.

To preserve the polished surface, after using your bath, clean with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water to wash away any body oils or soap residue that forms a ring tide mark on the bath surface. As a weekly cleaner we recommend warm soapy water or liquid cleaner. Do not use powders, pastes, cream cleaners, thinner, window cleaner sprays, solvents or dry cleaning liquid etc. Stubborn marks or fine scratches may be polished out with Brasso applied to a soft cloth. Please take care when rubbing or buffing the scratched surface as excessive force could possibly cause damage.

Always test your cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area of the product before applying to the entire surface. Wipe surface clean immediately after applying solution. Rinse completely with water after applying solution. Use a soft cloth or a dampened sponge or cloth to clean. Never use abrasive materials such as brushes and scouring pads to clean the surface.
