Sanitary Maintenance Tips and Recommendations

Maintenance of black sanitary ware for shower and bathroom

Black design, luxurious appearance and modern design but maintenance is very important!

It is not only trendy but also stylish and will retain a beautiful, luxurious look if you maintain it carefully and daily.



What many people don't know is that black sanitary ware (and especially matte black) requires a lot of maintenance to stay beautiful.

In the Netherlands, we have a fair amount of limescale in our water, and this also varies by region. The problem with limescale is that it's essentially a type of stone (grit), and if it's not cleaned regularly, it petrifies and can become almost as hard as concrete. The problem is that it then becomes almost impossible to remove. That's why we're offering some handy tips to keep your black sanitary ware looking beautiful and clean.

If limescale isn't removed regularly, it builds up, and it becomes so hard that anything moving on it will scuff and scratch. It also creates white stains that are noticeable and ultimately difficult, if not impossible, to remove.

For example, if you adjust the height of a hand shower holder, the problem will only get worse. The limescale builds up and eventually wears away the paintwork, causing irreparable damage to the protective paintwork and the stainless steel layer on the iron. This can even lead to rust.

We therefore recommend that you always dry your faucet, shower head, and hose thoroughly and quickly after every shower with a soft cloth, washcloth, or towel. This way, you'll enjoy your products for longer and cleaning them will be quicker. We also recommend regularly cleaning the shower and its components with a mild all-purpose cleaner (avoid harsh limescale removers).

If you do want to remove limescale stains from your faucets, it's best to use a mild version of natural vinegar. To use natural vinegar as a cleaning agent, spray it onto the parts, let it sit for a maximum of 2-5 minutes, and then rinse lightly with a soft cloth or sponge (not a scouring pad!) and lukewarm water (for example, with a hand shower). After rinsing, gently wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Rain showerheads and hand showers often come with silicone nubs that can be removed from limescale with a soft sponge or/and a single motion. You can also soak the showerhead or hand shower in a bowl of natural or cleaning vinegar overnight. Rinse thoroughly, dry, and reassemble the next morning.

Black sanitary ware requires more maintenance than chrome, where limescale deposits are less likely to appear.
