6. Maintenance and Cleaning
The KeraTect special glaze surface of your laying plate is highly durable and easy to clean. Regular cleaning will maintain its appearance and hygiene.
- Daily Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong acids, or alkaline solutions, as these can damage the KeraTect surface.
- Stains: For stubborn stains, use a ceramic-safe cleaner and follow the product instructions.
7. Troubleshooting
As a static ceramic fixture, troubleshooting is generally limited. Most issues relate to installation or physical damage.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Plate feels loose after installation | Improper mounting hardware; insufficient tightening; unsuitable wall material. | Re-check mounting screws and wall plugs. Ensure they are appropriate for your wall type and securely fastened. If issues persist, consult a professional. |
| Surface scratches or dullness | Use of abrasive cleaners or materials; impact from hard objects. | Ensure only soft cloths and non-abrasive cleaners are used. Avoid dropping hard objects onto the surface. Minor scratches on KeraTect are rare but can occur with extreme force. |
| Chipping or cracking | Impact damage; overtightening during installation. | Ceramic damage is typically irreversible. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary. Contact your supplier for options. |
