Tips for Cleaning Clawfoot Bath
-
Always Use a Mild Cleaning Agent
You should never use any harsh chemical on the stone bath or any porcelain based bath. The porcelain interior must be cleaned up with mild and non-abrasive cleaning agents. I want to recommend you to use dishwashing detergent in your home. Mix a few drops with hot water and use it. This is for regular cleaning of the bath.
-
Use Lemon Oil for the Exterior
Keep a pack of lemon oil for cleaning the exterior of the bath. One of my clients has used detergent to clean the matte surface of the bath. But, the detergent left some marks. Lemon oil is perfect for cleaning the dirt and also to bring the shine of the bath back. Don’t use too much of it though!

Use a Liquid Polisher for Cleaning the Dull Spots
The liquid polisher is required to be used for removing the scratch marks or dull spots from acrylic clawfoot bath in Perth. However, for the best results on scratch removal, you should use fine sandpaper. First, you have to rub the sandpaper on the scratch marks a bit and then use the polisher to give a new look again. If you are not confident enough, hire the professionals to do it for you.

For Deep Cleaning – Use Baking Soda
Absolutely no worries about the cleaning if you don’t always get enough time to clean the bath on a regular basis. We suggest you the technique of deep cleaning the bath too. Take 1/4 cup of ammonia, 1/4 cup of baking soda and mix these two elements with hot water. After leaving it inside the bath for a few minutes, you must use a non-abrasive sponge or piece of cloth to remove the mixture traces. And, then finally wash the interior with fresh water.
