Artize Stone Wash Basin: A Guide to Care and Maintenance

In the world of luxury bathrooms, few features evoke elegance quite like a stone wash basin. An Artize stone basin not only adds complexity to your space but also reflects your impeccable taste. To ensure that your stone basin remains a stunning centrepiece, it's essential to understand how to care for it properly. Here’s a comprehensive guide to maintaining the allure of your luxury wash basin.

1. Gentle Daily Cleaning

Your stone wash basin deserves gentle care. For everyday cleaning, opt for a neutral, mild detergent with low alkaline content. Avoid harsh cleaners that can degrade the luxurious surface of your basin. Strong acids, bleach, ammonia, or alcohol-based products should be kept at bay, as even natural remedies like lemon or vinegar can damage the finish of your stone basin. Make it a habit to wipe off any spillovers immediately. Substances such as soaps, hair dye, perfumes, and nail polish can leave lasting damage if left in contact.

2. Avoid Physical Damage

While a stone wash basin boasts durability, it’s not immune to physical damage. Steer clear of using bristle brushes, scrubbing pads, or steel wool, as these abrasive tools can scratch or degrade the surface. Be mindful of impacts; dropping hard objects inside your luxury wash basin may lead to chips or fractures. Treat your basin with the utmost care to preserve its beauty.

3. Protection from Stains and Sunlight

Stone is inherently porous, meaning that even the finest sealers can only offer stain resistance, not complete stain-proofing. To protect your stone wash basin, it’s advisable to reapply a penetrating sealer like AKEMI Nano twice a year. Additionally, keep harmful chemicals like nail polish remover and harsh cleansers away from the basin to prevent discolouration. It’s also essential to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can alter the colour and shade of your stone basin over time.

4. Deep Cleaning & Handling Stains

If a stain occurs, tackle it promptly with a mild stone-safe stain remover specifically formulated for natural stone. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry the surface with a soft cloth to avoid unsightly watermarks or soap films. A gentle approach ensures your luxury wash basin continues to shine.

5. Sealing & Maintenance Intervals

Artize stone wash basins come treated with AKEMI Nano, a high-quality penetrating natural sealer. To maintain the exquisite finish and stain resistance, remember to reapply the sealer approximately twice a year. This will help protect your investment and keep your basin looking luxurious.

Conclusion

Caring for your Artize stone wash basin is an investment in lasting elegance. By following thoughtful care routines using gentle cleaners, protecting against stains, avoiding harsh substances, and periodically sealing the basin, you honour the basin’s innate beauty. Over time, your efforts will pay off, allowing subtle veining to remain clear and rich. With proper maintenance, your luxury wash basin will thrive, becoming a timeless centrepiece in your bathroom, delivering daily delight and serene functionality.
