In terms of maintenance, an anti-scalant product in the form of a spray can be used for cleaning shower screens or similar; these products should be applied to the tray and
then rinsed, the use of said products is especially advisable in areas or communities with very hard water (with a lot of lime).
Cleaning or disinfecting products which contain solvents or acids, such as bleach or hydrochloric acid solution are also suitable.
For persistent stains, see the section "CLEANING OR REMOVING PERSISTENT STAINS FROM ELAXPOL® COMPONENTS".
Shower trays: Silex and Elax® collections
Due to the use and positioning of the shower tray the stainless steel screws attaching the siphon may become loose, leading to small leaks. It is recommended that these
are periodically tightened with a screwdriver.
All FIORA® shower trays carry the official CE standard marking, which is a guarantee that they have been subjected to a range of tests to ensure durability and resistance
to cleaning processes and everyday use.
In the course of our daily life we use a number of products which, at some time or other, may come in contact with FIORA® products. For this reason, in addition to the testing
procedures required for the CE marking, our R&D department also conducts its own tests involving the exposure of our materials to a range of commonly used products to
check for durability, resistance and any adverse effects.
These tests are always designed and performed with practical purposes in mind, using commercially available products one can find in any supermarket. (However, our testing
conditions are still far more severe than the everyday use situations to which FIORA® products are likely to be exposed).
We have included below the actual test results obtained using SILEXPOL® samples. In both cases the methodology was the same; the product listed was applied to one side
of the sample for the specified time while the other half was left covered. Following the exposure period, both surfaces were compared.
In all cases, the product was removed after the specified time and the test sample cleaned using water and a general cleaner.
