A Few Quick Tips to Maintain Your Wash Basin

Keeping your wash basin sparkling adds to its beauty and is very important for extending the life of your fixtures. Here is how you can keep it looking its best:

A gentle daily clean, a quick wipe-down with mild soap and a soft cloth can prevent a lot of the common grime build-up. Its gentle on your basin and keeps it looking clean.

A mix of baking soda and vinegar works wonders on tougher stains and does not harm the environment either. Apply the mix, let it sit for sometime then scrub softly and rinse off.

Water spots from hard water often cover your basin. To keep your basin spot-free, dry it with a soft cloth after use. If spots have already made a home, white vinegar can be used to wipe them away.

The drains need regular maintenance. Keep them flowing freely with a non-corrosive cleaner or use baking soda and hot water. Do it regularly to your basin and avoid that unwanted clog drama.

If your basin is the stone type, apply a sealant polish. It needs reapplication time and time again to save it from soap and water damage. Always check the manufacturers note for when its time to reseal.

Do not ignore a dripping faucet. It can lead to more issues down the line, not to mention the water wastage. Keep an eye out and fix as needed.

Most importantly, harsh chemicals are a no-go. Stick to gentle, pH-neutral cleaners made for the job.

Finally, if your basin has lost some of its shine, a suitable non-abrasive polish can bring back the glow.
