Bathrooms and Shower areas are especially sensitive due to their exposure to water, mold, mildew, soap scum, & excessive wear. In order to best care for your stone surfaces it is important to clean them with products designed for each surface; choosing an off the shelf cleaner is not advisable as highly acidic solutions can damage travertine and limestone while potentially causing streaking with granite and marble. Our products are organized by the type of stone you are working with in order to provide the best set of solutions for that particular surface.
We offer individual products to remove mold and mildew, soap film, and general cleaning as well as products that condition and polish surfaces. If you are for an overall solution to your stone care needs we also offer a Bath and Shower Care Kit that provides everything you need to keep your natural stone baths and showers in great condition.
The following are some Do's and Don't from our Stone Care Guide for Bathroom Vanities and Shower Stalls:
Bathroom Vanities:
DO clean your vanity tops regularly with a stone-safe, soap free neutral cleaner appropriate for your natural stone type.
DO clean your mirror with a neutral cleaner. Even if you over-spray it, nothing bad is going to happen to your marble.
DO use a stone polish if you want to add extra shine to your polished stone countertop surface and help prevent soiling.
DON’T take chances with cleaning your mirrors over your marble vanity tops with a regular glass cleaner. The
over-spray could spill onto the marble surface and may damage it. Therefore: TIP Rubbing alcohol works wonders for cleaning mirrors and won’t harm marble.
DON’T use any powder cleanser, or—worse yet—any cream cleanser.
DON’T do your nails on your marble vanity top, or color or perm your hair nearby it.
DON’T put any wet bottle onto it (perfume, after-shave, etc.). Keep your cosmetics and fragrances in one of those pretty
mirror trays (be sure that the legs of the tray have felts tips) or other appropriate container.
Shower Stalls:
DOmonitor your grout and caulk lines periodically and address any problem immediately.
DOclean your shower stall daily. The easiest and most effective way is, after everybody has taken a shower, spray the
walls and floor of the stall with an appropriate cleaner, then squeegee.
DO use a soap film remover specifically formulated to be effective at doing the job of cleaning soap scum and hard
mineral deposits, while not negatively interacting with the chemistry of natural stone.
DO clean mildew stains that appear on the grout lines of your shower enclosure with a mildew stain remover that has
been formulated to be safe on natural stone, while being very effective at removing mildew and other biological stains.
DON’T use any cleanser, either in a powdery or creamy form.
DON’T use any generic soap film remover, such as TILEX SOAP SCUM® or X-14 SOAP SCUM® on your polished stone
shower stall.
DON’T use any mildew stain remover, such as TILEX MILDEW STAIN REMOVER® or X-14 MILDEW STAIN REMOVER®
on your polished stone shower stall.
DON’T use any self-cleaners, such as SCRUBFREE ® and the likes, or any harsh disinfectant, such as LYSOL®
