The correct choice and maintenance of the bathtub

First, the choice of bathtub: distinguish material

Steel bathtub: Because its surface is enamel, it is not easy to hang dirty, easy to clean, not easy to fade, lasting luster. However, due to the thinness of the steel plate and the poor thermal insulation performance, some thermal insulation layers are also added. The enamel surface is not resistant to impact and the insulation is not good.

Cast iron bathtub: easy to maintain, easy to use when producing noise. Due to the thick cylinder wall, good thermal insulation performance, high gloss, and good acid and alkali resistance. Moreover, the cast iron cylinder has good glossiness and the service life is the longest in several cylinders, and the price is also the most expensive.

Acrylic bathtub: changeable shape, light weight, good insulation effect. The disadvantage is that the artificial organic material has the disadvantages of poor high temperature resistance, non-abrasion resistance, and easy aging of the surface, and is relatively easy to change color. Because the hardness is not high, the surface is prone to scratches.

Pearl bath: The surface is smooth, with pearl luster, strong and durable, good insulation, light weight, easy to install.

Second, calculate the area

Bathtubs of the same size have different depths, widths, lengths and contours. If you like the depth of the water, the location of the overflow outlet should be higher. If it is too low, once the water level exceeds this level, the water will flow outward from the overflow. The depth of the bathtub is difficult to reach the required depth; there is an elderly person or a disability at home. For people, it is better to choose the lower position, and you can also put handrails in place.

If you want to buy a skirt, usually a single skirt, pay attention to the direction of the skirt. According to the location of the drain and the wall, determine whether to choose the left skirt or the right skirt. If you buy it wrong, you can't install it. ??

Third, set the function

If the budget is loose, consider a jacuzzi. The jacuzzi massages muscles, relieves pain and activates joints. There are three kinds of jacuzzis: whirlpool type, which turns the bath water; bubble type, pump air into the water; combined type, combining the above two characteristics. But be careful to choose the model that meets the safety standards, and also ask the professional to install it. It is best to “test water” at the time of purchase, listen to the sound, try the temperature, buy a Jacuzzi with a skirt, if the motor has problems, it is easy to dismantle and repair. ??

Fourth, bathtub installation

If a shower head is to be added to the bathtub, the bathtub should be selected to be slightly wider to prevent water from splashing outside; anti-slip styles should be selected to ensure safety. Shower heads are available in both wall-mounted and in-wall styles. Wall-mounted showers are more suitable for home use. It is worth mentioning that the nozzles and accessories of bathtubs, like toilets and basin accessories, must be selected as ancillary products. Its appearance is generally the same as other bathroom products.

Fifth, correct cleaning bathtub anti-scratch

If you don't take care of yourself, the bathtub will be “old and faded.” If you use it for a long time, it will show signs of decay, stains, and roughness. Careful care of the bathtub can extend its useful life. Under normal circumstances, please use neutral detergent or soap and water to clean; use liquid detergent to remove stubborn stains on the non-slip pattern; for the handwriting of wax, shoe polish, wax traces and other stains first wiped with industrial alcohol, and then liquid cleaning Agent cleaning; do not use "scooter" to clean the bathtub, otherwise it will scratch the bottom non-slip layer and surface enamel.

Sixth, do not wash the bathtub with strong alkali

Clean the bathtub at least once a week to ensure that the bathtub remains dry after each use; use neutral liquid cleaners and flexible fabrics or sponges for good cleaning; avoid using abrasive and alkaline cleaners; avoid dark colors The cleaners are liable to cause the pigments to infiltrate the cylinder surface; if the bathtub is damaged, it should be repaired immediately to prevent the problem from deteriorating; do not leave metal objects in the bathtub, which will cause the bathtub to rust and stain the surface.
