Modern kitchens and bathrooms often use ceramic tiles or natural stone for their decoration. These materials are not only stylish and elegant but also help maximize the limited space by incorporating wall-mounted storage cabinets. However, from a technical standpoint, after some time, ceramic tiles and stones may become loose and even fall off. This is primarily due to insufficient viscosity of the cement mortar used during installation. Additionally, kitchens are frequently exposed to grease and rust, while bathrooms remain damp for long periods, leading to issues like mold, stains, and discoloration on the tiles and stone surfaces.
To maintain a clean and undamaged surface, it’s recommended to use a multi-purpose cleaning cream that is gentle yet effective. For grout lines between tiles, you can gently brush away dirt with a soft brush and then apply a waterproofing agent to prevent water penetration and mold growth. It's important to note that many household cleaners contain acidic or alkaline substances that can harm natural stone, affecting its color and internal structure. Some of these products need to sit on the surface for at least five minutes to work, which can cause damage over time. Therefore, it's best to use neutral cleaners when cleaning bathroom surfaces.
Acidic cleaners are ideal for removing limestone, cement stains, scale, stubborn urine stains, and oxidized metal stains commonly found in bathrooms. Examples include acid-based cleaning solutions. On the other hand, alkaline cleaners are effective against animal and vegetable oils, mechanical greases, and wax layers on floors, such as specialized oil cleaners or strong waxing water. Improper use of these cleaners can lead to wasted product, surface damage, or even harm to the user’s skin or eyes.
When using acid or alkaline cleaners, keep the following in mind:
1. Always read the instructions carefully before use, or consult the supplier for detailed guidance. Understanding the proper application and contraindications is essential.
2. Perform a small test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it won’t damage the surface. Dilute the cleaner properly and wear gloves. If necessary, use eye protection to avoid direct contact.
3. Avoid prolonged contact with skin or eyes. Do not leave the cleaner on the surface for too long. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
4. Never use these cleaners on sensitive surfaces, such as marble, which can be easily damaged by acidic or alkaline substances.
