Ensure the durability of home renovation products by following proper care guidelines. Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to preserve their quality and appearance.
In order to get optimum longevity out of the items you have chosen, we have provided some home renovation products care and maintenance tips for your reference.
Showcase Cream Polish is the top cleaner that we recommend. In general, you want to use a liquid or cream furniture polish.
Murphy’s Oil Soap is NOT for use on wood cabinets.
Warm soapy water is enough to clean your Formica. Try to find anti-bacterial or anti-microbial cleaners, as they work best. Do not use any other type of cleaning solution for this surface
No matter what type of stone you have, you’ll need to reseal it eventually. That’s true for slabs of marble, granite, limestone, and more. Check with your local supplier to see how often you should reseal your stone.
Warm soapy water or anti-microbial/bacterial cleaners work best for painted cabinets.
As with foil wrap, a 50/50 solution of anti-microbial cleaner and water will work wonders for your laminate.
You can use either a stainless steel cleaner, non-abrasive cleaner, or mild soap and water.
Non-abrasive bathroom cleaner works, as does the 50/50 solution of soap and water.
Gel coat cleaners work great for acrylic tubs. You can also use the tried and true 50/50 solution of soap and water
Use the same soap solution and dry as thoroughly as you would for brass faucets.
Corian is a nonporous polymer resin product used in countertops. It would be best to avoid all window cleaners, as they will dull the surface with a waxy build-up. Instead, all you need is warm soapy water to clean your Corian. Conversely, you could also use a dedicated countertop cleaner
or an ammonia-based cleaner.
Standing liquids are a big no-no for granite. While there is a sealant, granite is still porous. That means liquids have the chance of seeping into the pores and staining. It would be best if you cleaned up all spills as soon as you can. Resealing is also essential to maintain your granite. For heavy use, reseal every six months. If you only lightly use your countertops, every 12 months is fine.
You need to take proper care of your grout and caulk for them to work correctly. It will depend on the amount of usage, water conditions, and the climate. It would help if you replaced your grout and caulk every year or two. That’s especially true for where horizontal surfaces meet vertical surfaces.
Clean with a solution consisting of 50% anti-microbial cleaner and 50% water. Any other type of cleaner can risk damaging your foil wrap.
The 50% anti-microbial soap and 50% water solution get the win again for PVC thermoformed cabinets.
Mild soap and water will be sufficient for cleaning your tub. Make sure that if you do use a cleaning agent that it’s non-abrasive.
Glass cleaner works best for cleaning the grime off shower doors. If your glass is clear, you can use RainX to ensure the water beads off the glass. If you do use RainX, make sure that you don’t use any other cleaning agent.
Use the 50/50 solution of soap and water, but don’t forget to dry thoroughly afterward. You don’t want to leave standing water on your brass, as it will damage it. Also, check with your supplier to see if you need to polish the faucets after cleaning.
Any environment that is moist, damp, or wet will attract mold and mildew. That means mold can form in old or new bathrooms, depending on the conditions. While you can never eliminate mold and mildew, you can keep them under control by properly drying your floor and walls after each shower.
