For light daily cleaning, simply rinse the bath with warm water. If any marks persist, clean with warm soapy water ensuring that the soap is a non-abrasive bathroom or kitchen household cleaner (e.g. Sunlight Liquid). Abrasives (e.g. Handy Andy) will decrease the glossiness of the bath with continued use.
Should you need to clean the bath with an abrasive cleaner, as may be required after heavy use, polishing the dried bath with a car polish or household metal polish will restore the bath’s lustre. Ensure to wash away any remaining residue from cleaning products.
Do not use scouring powders and avoid contact with other household chemicals such as hair dyes, carpet dyes, paint strippers, strong disinfectants, alcohol, after shave, perfumes and nail varnishes and their removers or bleaches. Baths with special finishes require extra care – if need be, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and do not use strong chemicals.

Victorian Bathrooms offers a select range of special finishes for specific tapware and accessories. It is important to be aware that special finishes are known as ‘living finishes’ that over time will develop a natural patina, changing as they react with the environment they are in. For many, this natural aging of the finish is the appeal and charm of choosing a special finish however, some would prefer for the finish to remain in its original state which requires regular maintenance and care.
Maintaining the special finish is not difficult but it does require regular effort, especially if you live along the coast.
Extra care must be taken for all special finishes during installation and daily use. Normally, a damp soft cloth is all it takes to shine up your fittings however if it is not sufficient, mix a solution of warm, soapy water with the cloth. Do not use anything stronger than a non-abrasive household cleaner (e.g. Sunlight Liquid). Never clean with abrasive solutions (e.g. Handy Andy) as these can actually damage your special finish.
After cleaning, be sure to dry the fittings as this will prevent water spots and any possible further damage. A tip to keeping your fittings in ideal condition is to keep a dry cloth nearby so that you can dry off the fittings after you have finished using them. Please be aware that with the majority of the special finishes offered by Victorian Bathrooms, the finishes are engineered locally by hand making them unique and individual to every order. With this being said, should you have other finishes to which you plan on matching the Victorian Bathrooms’ special finishes, please consider that the metals may not be an exact match. Victorian Bathrooms holds stock of fittings in the chrome finish so should you request a special finish, be aware that there is a lead time according to the fitting being ordered and additional charges for the finish.
Mirrors are very fragile and need to be handled with care during cleaning. Care should always be taken to avoid getting the edges of the mirror wet with any liquid or substance. This can result in damage to the mirror edges, commonly known as ‘black edge’. Should mirror edges get wet, they should be dried off immediately.
Mirror products must be protected during construction site storage and installation. Mirrors should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, free of chemical fumes and away from high heat sources, such as steam or water pipes. Exposure to excessive moisture or harmful construction materials can result in hard-to-remove surface conditions.
Mirrors should be the last to be installed. We do not recommend that you install your mirror directly onto raw wood, latex enamels, or oil-based paints or stains. These materials will attack the backing paint on the mirror and expose the silvering to these chemicals and moisture in the air. Fresh paint must be allowed to cure for a minimum of 14 days before installing the mirror over the paint.
Please clean all Perspex items with care using warm water and a soft, lint-free cloth. Exceptionally soiled products can be cleaned with warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner (e.g. Sunlight Liquid). Never use any harsh cleaning abrasives as these will damage the Perspex (e.g. please do not use Windolene) as this may result in crazing of the Perspex). Special Perspex cleaner is available through Victorian Bathrooms if required.
