The process of maintaining the cleanliness of natural rock surfaces in a bathing enclosure involves specific techniques distinct from standard bathroom sanitation. It focuses on removing mineral deposits, soap scum, and biological growth without damaging the porous composition of materials such as marble, granite, slate, or travertine.
Proper sanitation extends the lifespan and preserves the aesthetic qualities of these high-end installations. Routine upkeep prevents discoloration, etching, and the development of mold or mildew, mitigating potential health risks and maintaining the investment value of the enclosure. Furthermore, utilizing appropriate cleaning agents ensures the preservation of the stone’s natural sealant and finish.
