Both the bathtub and the shower wall can be made of different materials. The shower wall is usually made of glass, but there is also a plastic version. The situation is similar with the bathtub. The best known is probably the acrylic tub. The wooden bathtub is somewhat more unusual here.
Care of the shower wall
If you have chosen a glass shower screen for your shower, you should follow the manufacturer's care instructions carefully. It is often recommended to use a mild household cleaner for cleaning. Under no circumstances should scouring agents or chlorine-containing agents be used. This would either scratch or blunt the glass. The same applies to the plastic shower screen. Even more caution is required here, as the material is by far not as hard as glass. So it was much faster to produce a scratch than a glass shower screen. But regardless of whether you have a glass or plastic shower partition, it should be obligatory to remove the first amounts of water from it after each shower with a window extractor.
The right care for the bathtub
The acrylic bath tub is easy to maintain and keep clean. Often the simple budget means are sufficient here, so that expensive special cleaning agents can usually be dispensed with. For example, you should rinse the bathtub with hot water after each bath and rub dry with a dry cotton cloth.
If there are still dirt on the edges, then you simply remove them with a soft sponge and some detergent. Make sure that the rubbing side of the sponge is never used, as it would inevitably lead to fine scratches. In very hard water, calf deposits can also occur occasionally. These are effectively removed with vinegar cleaner. For this purpose, the vinegar cleaner is placed in a spray bottle, with which the bathtub is sprayed. The cleaner should work for a longer period of time. Then rinse the tub with clear water. For a particularly beautiful shine, it is advisable to rub the new bathtub twice a month with buttermilk. The same effect can also be achieved by using some car polish instead of buttermilk. The water then beads off and lime stains have little chance. The wooden bathtub looks a bit different. When buying the bathtub, you should make sure that it is made of wood that is suitable for bath tubs. Red cedar or larch wood is suitable for this purpose. The wood should also be free of toxic chemicals. Further information can be found at badewanne. de.
