Vallee Bath and Basin Care
At Vallee, we are dedicated to creating beautiful concrete baths and basins that are not only stunning but also built for longevity. To keep your concrete fixtures looking their best and functioning optimally, here are some essential care tips:
Cleaning Up Liquid Spills
Our concrete baths and basins are treated with a densifier, polished, and sealed to help protect against liquid damage. Soap, oils, or bath products are sealer safe, but please wipe them up promptly to prevent staining or discoloration after use.
Everyday Cleaning
For regular cleaning of your concrete baths and basins, simply use a warm, damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used, but it's not necessary for day-to-day maintenance. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive scrubbing pads, or vigorous cleaning, which could compromise the sealant and surface of your concrete fixture.
Preventing Water Marks and Stains
While our concrete basins are designed to handle water exposure, prolonged standing water can sometimes leave marks. To avoid this, make sure to dry the surface after use, especially around the drain area and edges of the basin. Water marks that do occur should naturally fade over time if no acidic or harsh substances are involved.
Protecting Against Heavy Items and Sunlight
Concrete edges are strong but can be susceptible to small chips or cracks if struck by hard objects. Avoid placing heavy items on the edges of your concrete baths and basins, and never drag objects across the surface. If your bath or basin is placed in an area exposed to direct sunlight, be aware that slight color changes may occur over time.
Addressing Chips and Scratches
Although concrete is durable, accidental chips or scratches may occur, particularly along edges. These imperfections can often be polished out or repaired by a Vallee artisan to restore the smooth finish of your bath or basin.
General Guidelines
To keep your concrete bath or basin in top condition, remember: 'Wipe as you go.' Be mindful of using coasters, bath mats, or similar protective items to prevent any scratches or water marks. Refrain from exposing your concrete surface to harsh impacts or extreme temperatures.
About Our Sealer
Our Vallee sealer penetrates deeply into the concrete, creating a hard, protective surface with a sleek, low-sheen finish. While concrete requires more care than some traditional materials, our sealer ensures durable, long-lasting protection against everyday use.
Maintenance
Maintaining your concrete bath or basin is simple. Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft microfiber cloth to preserve the surface's integrity. Avoid the use of chemical cleaners or abrasive materials to protect the seal and the concrete underneath.
Warranty
Please take a moment to review our warranty instructions to ensure that your concrete bath or basin remains a lasting investment. At Vallee, we are committed to delivering exceptional concrete pieces that enhance your space and stand the test of time.
