Daily and weekly maintenance: The simple steps to lasting brilliance

The key to preserving the elegant finish of your Nôsa stone bath lies in seamlessly integrating a few mindful habits into your routine.

1. Rinse and wipe after every use

Often, the most effective steps are the simplest. 

After each use of your stone bath, a quick rinse with warm water and a soft cloth will prevent soap scum and bath product residue from settling. This swift action helps maintain the bath’s immaculate surface with minimal effort.

2. Gentle cleansing

For your weekly clean, opt for mild, non-abrasive cleansers. 

A solution of warm soapy water or a gentle bathroom spray, applied with a soft cloth or sponge, is perfectly adequate. Avoid anything harsh; the beauty of stone resin lies in its refined surface, which responds best to delicate cleaning.

3. Soft cleaning aids are key 

Always opt for soft tools when cleaning your stone bath. Microfibre cloths and non-scratch sponges are perfect, whereas harsh scrub pads or abrasive brushes can dull your bath’s pristine finish.

Are stone baths difficult to clean?

Stone baths are easily maintained, with simple, gentle cleaning products. By adopting a simple, daily and thorough weekly cleaning routine, your stone bath should remain in pristine condition. 

Problem-solving; dealing with specific care issues

Even with the most diligent care, problems can still occur.

Should you encounter a specific concern with your stone bath, rest assured that Nôsa’s stone resin is remarkably forgiving.

1. Removing stains and discolouration

Occasionally, hair dyes, certain bath oils, or even prolonged contact with a bathmat can cause the surface of your stone bath to discolour. Whatever the cause, the key is to address it gently and quickly.

2. Addressing scratches

One of the significant advantages of Nôsa’s high-quality stone resin is its robust, solid construction. Unlike coated materials, where scratches can expose the core, our stone resin baths are the same throughout, meaning minor imperfections can often be rectified. 

While Nôsa baths are inherently scratch-resistant, if a superficial mark appears, it can typically be buffed out using the sanding pads provided (for baths with a matt finish) or a dedicated repair kit. This repairability ensures the enduring beauty of your investment, a testament to the longevity of Nôsa’s stone bathtubs.

What to avoid: protecting your investment

When it comes to caring for your stone bath, knowing which cleaners to avoid is just as important as knowing which ones to use. For preventing issues further down the line, we’d recommend avoiding the following:

Avoid harsh chemicals

Steer clear of abrasive cleaners, bleach, ammonia-based products, strong acids, or solvents. These can damage the elegant finish of your stone resin, undermining its luxurious appeal.

Avoid using abrasive tools

Never use steel wool, scouring pads, or stiff-bristled brushes on your stone bath. These could scratch the surface and damage your bath’s smooth, inviting texture.

Preventive measures 

If using a bathmat with suction cups, remove it and allow the bath to dry after every use to prevent moisture from being trapped, which could lead to marks over time.
