Cleaning Vitreous China

Keeping your home clean can feel like an impossible task.   There are a million little details that demand your attention, from vacuuming the carpet to washing the windows to getting those dust bunnies out from under the bed.  And just when you think you’re done?  It all needs to be cleaned again!    The endless grind to keep everything spic and span makes us feel like a hamster on a wheel. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. Some parts of your home can be a breeze to clean; today we’re talking about your bathroom!  Specifically, the following tips will help you clean your toilet, sink, tub or anything else in your home made of vitreous china, porcelain or ceramic. Avoid Strong Abrasive Cleaners Abrasives are an essential tool for housecleaning, but when it comes to vitreous china you need to make sure you’re using the right ones.  Strong abrasives like steel wool, metal brushes, coarse pumice or sand can scratch or dull your finish, reducing the beauty of your vitreous china sink. Instead, stick to mild abrasives like mesh pads or nylon-coated sponges. Rinse Thoroughly Sometimes all your china needs is a good splash of water.  Rinsing first can save you elbow grease and expensive cleaning supplies, and there’s nothing like watching a stain run off under clean water. Apply Antibacterial Formulas The bathroom may be the most germ-ridden room in your house; luckily, nonporous china finishes are easy to clean sanitary and sparkling.  Applying antibacterial sprays or wipes will help keep your home healthy and safe without damaging vitreous china surfaces.   Avoid Mixing Cleaning Products Chemicals used for cleanup can be hazardous when combined.  For example, mixing bleach and ammonia produces chlorine gas which can induce permanent injury or death.  Be sure to thoroughly empty basins and rinse/wipe surfaces when you’ve finished using a particular chemical. Know Your Water The hardness (or concentration of dissolved minerals) of your water can determine how often you need to clean sinks, tubs and toilets.  Hard water will leave more deposits on your surfaces, so if you have hard water you may need to clean these surfaces more often.
