Ceramic wash basins are the preferred choice for commercial settings due to their hard-wearing properties. High-quality fixtures are fired at 1280°C to achieve a vitrified surface with less than 0.2% water absorption. This technical guide outlines the proper maintenance steps to protect the 1.2mm glaze layer while managing over 200 daily users.
1. Approved Cleaning Agents
To keep your basin in top condition, you must understand which chemicals are safe. The 1.2mm glaze is durable but sensitive to extreme pH levels.
- Daily Cleaning: Use neutral detergents (pH 6-8). These remove dirt without stripping the glaze.
- Scale Removal: Mild acids (pH 2-3) like vinegar or citric acid are effective against mineral deposits.
2. Hard Water Stain Removal
Mineral buildup can make a new basin look aged. Follow these steps to restore the shine without damaging the surface.
3. Commercial Maintenance Schedule
For restrooms with 200+ users, a structured schedule is essential. Below is the recommended protocol.
| Task | Frequency | Cleaning Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Wipe | Daily | pH 6-8 Neutral |
| Deep Descaling | Weekly | pH 2-3 Acidic |
| Glaze Inspection | Monthly | Visual Check |
