Ceramic washbasins can be said to be a must-have in buildings and are frequently used in daily life. They are used every day, and when used, it is found that a layer of yellowing dirt will form after almost one or two weeks of not cleaning, making it difficult to clean them with clean water. So how can we properly clean and maintain it? What are the types of ceramic washbasins? Today, I will introduce it to everyone.
1、 Ceramic washbasin
Ceramic wash basin is a sanitary ware used to wash face and hands in the bathroom. When choosing, it is necessary to consider the space size of the installation environment and the location and method of the drainage pipe to comprehensively select a suitable washbasin. When selecting, one can observe the glaze of the ceramic under backlight to see if it is bright, smooth, without bubbles, sand holes, etc. Choose a ceramic wash basin with strong reflective ability and can also be touched by hand. If the feel is smooth, delicate, and the knocking sound is clear, it indicates that it is a good ceramic washbasin.
2、 Types of ceramic washbasins
1. Ceramic art basin
Most art pots are handmade and fired using traditional porcelain making techniques and the unique kaolin of Jingdezhen. The porcelain surface of the art basin is wear-resistant, the glaze is completely vitrified, and the water absorption rate reaches zero. The decorative content is rich and colorful. Compared to ordinary ceramic wash basins, they are also relatively expensive. When cleaning, hard objects such as steel wire balls should not be used to wipe them to avoid scratching the glaze and affecting their appearance and lifespan.
2. Ceramic hanging basin
The ceramic hanging basin has great advantages in appearance, mainly because it does not occupy the ground area and the device is simple. It only needs to be installed according to the steps on the drawing, but only requires the installation of a wall mounted drainage system in the home.
3. Ceramic column basin
Column basin is a commonly used washbasin in small space units, with the advantages of easy installation, easy cleaning, fewer corner environments, and hidden water pipes in the column, making it easy to repair even if there is a leak.
4. Ceramic basin under the table
Generally installed inside the cabinet, the water pipes below are hidden inside the cabinet. A cabinet is an advantage of a basin under the counter, which can store commonly used cleaning agents, laundry detergent, etc. in the bathroom for easy access. The installation requirements are relatively high, and the reserved size of the countertop should match the size of the washbasin, otherwise it will affect the aesthetics. It is best to buy a complete set and have professional personnel come to install it.
5. Ceramic tabletop basin
Easy to install, toiletries can be placed on the countertop, but it is not conducive to cleaning. The joint between the washbasin and the cabinet is prone to dirt and bacteria growth.
3、 How to maintain the washbasin correctly
1. Change the bad habit of conveniently placing toiletries on the countertop.
2. Place larger or heavier daily necessities separately on the storage rack, and do not place them in the cabinet above the washbasin to avoid accidentally falling and damaging the washbasin.
3. When cleaning the appearance of a ceramic washbasin, use a soft bristle or sponge dipped in a neutral detergent to clean it. Do not rinse with hot water to avoid cracking the washbasin. If using a ceramic washbasin to hold water, first place cold water and then mix it with hot water to avoid burns.
4. The detachable water storage elbow below should be regularly disassembled to remove accumulated stains and maintain smooth drainage.
5. A method to check if there are dark cracks in the ceramic washbasin at home is to fill it with water and soak it in colored pigment for one night. If there are dark cracks, you can see them clearly. Otherwise, there are no dark cracks.
6. When cleaning the basin on the table, pay attention to the dead corners at the joint between the tabletop and the ceramic washbasin. If soft tools cannot effectively clean, use sharp and flat tools to clean. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid scratching the porcelain surface.
