Ceramic:

The glazed finish of your sanitary ware should be cleaned after use by applying
a little cream type cleaner. Apply using a sponge or damp cloth and rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Cleaners containing abrasive materials
should be avoided.

Metal:

Parts with Chrome/Gold finish should be cleaned with a damp soft cloth only.
The use of detergents and abrasive cleaning agents should be avoided as these
will cause damage to the finish of the metal.

Marble:

Little maintenance should be necessary other than regular cleaning. This should
be done with clean warm water and a soapless detergent of near neutral ph.
Buff up with clean dry cloth. The use of strong detergents and abrasives should
be avoided as these can damage the natural stone.

Wood:

Bathroom furniture can be wiped over using a damp cloth and dried with a soft
duster. The use of polishes using silicon or any abrasive materials can damage
the wood finish. Natural wax polishes should be used sparingly and applied
using a soft dry cloth.

Always use your best efforts to keep the wood surface dry. The finish will
deteriorate and the underlying timber could become permanently stained if
subjected to long term contact with water.
