Bath and Tile, Ltd, a New Zealand owned and operated business, offers the latest in Sanitary Ware and Tiles. Since 2009, its been making people’s bathroom dreams a reality by offering the highest quality bathroom accessories NZ, Bathroom Renovation Accessories, Bathroom Supplies Auckland, NZ and bathroom supplies online at the best possible prices.

Selling merchandise, however, is really just one part of designing or renovating a bathroom. You also have to care for it. In other words, clean it. But, really, who wants to talk about, even think about, cleaning your toilet? Yuck. Well, it may be a nasty subject, but it’s necessary.

Your bathroom needs a lot of care, perhaps even the most care. Thousands and thousands of and thousands (i.e. a lot) of nasty bacteria live there. You might not see them, but sometimes you can smell them - they smell foul. They can give you diarrhoea, typhoid, dysentery, and a host of other diseases. Now, that’s yucky.

First of all, what is Sanitary Ware? It includes:

  • bath tubs
  • mixers & shower glass doors
  • toilet seat
  • toilet
  • toilet paper holder
  • bidet
  • urinal
  • sink
  • bathroom furniture
  • wash basins
  • towel Rod
  • tapware
  • pedestals
  • bathroom decor tiles
  • bathroom floor and wall tiles
  • all other bathroom accessories

Now, here are those tips on how to keep your Sanitary Ware and bathroom shiny and clean.

  • Use rubber gloves to protect your hands from moisture and chemicals.
  • Use a long handled brush to reach high, low, and out-of-the-way areas to minimize back strain.
  • Use gentle, non-abrasive disinfectants and cleansers. Some generally clean the entire bathroom and some are specifically for the toilet and decorative wall tiles. If you want, you can also make your cleansers. You can find plenty of homemade cleanser "recipes" online. Many incorporate vinegar, baking soda, and citrus and work all very well. Whichever you choose, make sure it disinfects. While vinegar has disinfectant properties, it does not kill all of the dangerous bacteria, like staphylococcus. Some can also deteriorate unsealed grout over time and are inappropriate for certain stone, such as onyx, limestone and travertine.
  • If you clean with a sponge or brush, make sure to disinfect it when you are through. You can always put them in the dishwasher. You can also put your sponge in the microwave for two minutes (be careful – it will be hot). You can also disinfect your brushes by soaking them in diluted bleach water for thirty minutes.
  • Apply toilet cleanser under the rim of the bowl, in addition to the bowl itself. Leave it in the toilet for at least 15 minutes before scrubbing with a toilet brush. Such allows for maximum sanitizing and cleansing.
  • Wash the floor with disinfectant, too. If you don’t like mops, you could always put cleanser on a towel or cloth use your feet to swish it around. It’s your choice whether or not you wear shoes.
  • Generally, gentle bleach cleansers and brushes, even a toothbrush, work well on tile and grout. But, such might be too abrasive for some decorative wall tiles and bathroom floor tiles.
  • Clean at least once a week.
