Rak Ceramics RAKSOLID, Care And Maintenance

ENGLISH

NORMAL CLEANING

Matt inside surface made from “RAKSOLID”.

Clean with soapy water and a common household detergent to remove the majority of stains and dirt that may be depos-

ited on the surface. Apply the detergent using a soft sponge, cotton cloth or an abrasive sponge such as Scotch Brite®. 

After cleaning, rinse the surface well to prevent marks from forming.

Painted surface.

Clean with a common spray detergent for household surfaces and a soft sponge or cotton cloth. Do not use abrasive 

sponges. Do not use abrasive detergents.

NON-STANDARD MAINTENANCE

The matt inside surface of the bathtub is subject to intensive use, which may cause some surface wear (e.g. scratches, 

dull patches or marks). The RAKSOLID material is uniform through its full depth. To restore it to its original beauty, use 

an abrasive Scotch-Brite® sponge with a common household detergent. In case of deeper scratches or damage, smooth 

the surface using fine sandpaper (320 grit). Warning: do not use an abrasive sponge or sandpaper on the painted part.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS

The following products can be used both for the inside RAKSOLID   and the painted surfaces: 10% ammonia cleaning 

solution, Ajax classic cleaner, Glassex, Vetril multi-purpose sanitiser, Lysoform home cleaner, Rio casamia floor cleaner 

and Mr. Clean. After cleaning, rinse the surface well to prevent marks from forming. If you do not know how potentially 

aggressive a detergent is, test it on a small, hidden area before use (this applies to both surfaces).

DON’TS

Do not use bleach-based products. They may leave a stain on the painted outside surface. 

Do not use abrasive sponges or sandpaper on the coloured painted outside surface. 

Do not use aggressive chemical products such as acetone, denatured alcohol, trichloroethylene, or strong acids or alka-

lines such as muriatic acid and sodium hydroxide. Do not use products for unblocking pipes.

Do not use metal scrapers, iron brushes, blades, cutters or other metal domestic utensils to remove marks, paint, plas-

ter or similar. Avoid knocks and do not drop objects on the product. Avoid thermal shocks: do not use hot water (above 

55°C/130°F) and do not pour boiling oil or liquids on the surface. Do not rest very hot objects, cigarettes or flames on the
