Bath Tub
When cleaning your bath tub, you need to make sure that the cleanser you’re going to use isn’t abrasive as this can damage the material. The best thing to use is simply hot soapy water and a soft sponge.
Mirrors

Tiles
For tiles, not all cleaning products are suitable as tiles are made out of different materials. It’s crucial to find out what type of cleanser will be most effective on your tiles and what also can damage them. Natural stole materials can be quite penetrable and are vulnerable to marks or damage by abrasive cleaning items.

ALWAYS CHECK THE LABEL ON CLEANING PRODUCTS AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR PRODUCTS.
