Effective Cleansers For Your Household

One of the most effective cleansers is a homemade solution of one capful of Dawn and one capful of vinegar; fill the rest of a spray bottle with water, and you’re good to go. The solution will safely and effectively clean acrylic, Onyx and Fibo surfaces. It’s important to always rinse surfaces with water after cleaning.

For larger build-ups of soap and shampoo residue, we recommend Arm & Hammer Scrub Free or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge as strong tub and shower cleaners. For removing light scratches and abrasions, you may use Gel Gloss. If you are unsure whether a particular cleaner is approved, please call Simple Bath at 614-888-BATH; we can answer any and all questions about how to clean a toilet, shower and bathtub!

What Effect Does Soap Have On Acrylic & Onyx?

Have you noticed that certain soaps are more difficult to remove than others? Deodorant bar soap is the most difficult to dissolve using the approved cleaners mentioned above. Conversely, liquid soap seems to be the easiest to remove. Keep this in mind as you pursue the best way to clean your shower, tub or toilet.

Installation & Care

We use 100% silicone for every installation, including adhesive and color-matched silicone made specifically for these products. Never use plumber’s putty or construction adhesives on your new bathroom. Over time, these materials can damage your sink, your shower and even your vanity cabinet. Suction cups are safe to use on your shower wall surfaces.

Cleaning Your Onyx Collection Shower

Regular cleaning of your Onyx shower, tub or countertop can safely be done with any non-abrasive cleaning product made for sinks or showers. If it says on the label “Do not use on…” it most likely contains abrasives, which can damage or dull almost any sink, shower or countertop over time with repeated use.

To make cleaning even simpler, especially in hard water areas, a product like Repel that is designed to clean and seal surfaces will help protect the product from mineral or soap scum buildup with a minimum of effort. If a mineral buildup does occur, it can be remedied by using white vinegar, a product like Eliminate or any other mineral removing product that is safe for your drain. You should always follow the directions that are on the label. Care and maintenance instructions can be viewed and downloaded from the Onyx Collection website, along with MSDS Safety Data Sheets for applicable products.

If your Onyx Collection product becomes chipped or damaged in any way, please call Onyx at 1-800-669-9867. A repair kit can be sent to you at no charge. If you are within the Onyx delivery area, Onyx will schedule a time to come to your home and repair the damage at no charge to you.

Bertch Cabinet Cleaning Recommendations

Avoiding Problems With Your Standard Wood Finish

  • Do not use detergents, oily polishes or glass cleaners.
  • An occasional light waxing may be required.
  • Avoid frequent cleaning with a waxy cleaner.
  • Use a good furniture brand paste wax to polish your cabinetry, such as Guardsman Heritage
    Furniture Polish.
  • To clean a soiled area of your cabinetry, use a damp cloth and a mild dish soap. After wiping
    immediately, wipe again with a clean damp cloth.
  • Dry with a clean dry cloth.

Avoiding Problems With Your High Gloss Finish

  • Clean high gloss cabinetry with mild soap and a damp cloth.
  • Do not use any wax cleaner whatsoever to avoid discoloration.
Vinyl Floor Cleaning Tips

Your new vinyl flooring is beautiful, durable and easy to maintain. It still requires some basic cleaning, though. Here are some simple and easy care tips to keep your floors looking newer for longer:

  • Remove loose dirt with a soft bristle broom.
  • Clean with plain water and a damp mop for normal, everyday care.
  • Wash the floor occasionally with a gentle (non-abrasive) floor cleaner. Always follow cleaning product
    instructions and adhere to cautions before use.
  • Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products. These may leave a dull film on
    your flooring.
  • When using a vacuum cleaner, disengage the beater bar or use the “bare floor” setting to avoid
    damaging your flooring.
  • Highly abrasive scrubbing tools are not recommended, as they can damage your flooring.
  • Never use ammonia or bleach to clean your vinyl flooring.
  • Due to the high temperatures, steam mops may cause damage to vinyl flooring. Review the
    manufacturer guidelines for your flooring before using a steam mop.
