(commercial vinegar-based detergents are also suitable); and leave to act for 15/20 minutes, or longer, depending on
need.

Colored shower trays: dark trays, by their nature, show more limescale residues which are therefore particularly visible. To
overcome this inconvenience, it is advisable to always do daily cleaning and extraordinary cleaning every week.
Gel detergents are particularly recommended, taking care to rinse the surface well; in this way the original matt finish, a
distinctive feature of this product, will be maintained.
Suitable products: for cleaning, use only soft cloths and NON-abrasive liquid detergents. Do not use abrasive sponges, wire
pads, solid or liquid detergents containing abrasive particles, acetone or other solvents.

detergents whose potential aggressiveness is unknown, it is best to test the application in a small, hidden area before using
the product.

acids (muriatic acid) and strong bases (caustic soda...); very aggressive substances for draining sinks; solvents used in the
