5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Aurlane shower tray.
- Clean the acrylic surface with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
- Periodically remove the linear drain grate and clean any accumulated hair or debris from the drain channel to ensure optimal water flow.
- For chrome or gun metal grates, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower tray, consider the following common solutions:
- Slow Drainage: Check the linear drain for blockages (hair, soap residue). Remove the grate and clear any obstructions.
- Leaks: Inspect all plumbing connections and sealant around the tray's perimeter. Reapply sealant if necessary. If leaks persist, consult a professional plumber.
- Surface Stains: For stubborn stains, use a specialized acrylic cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
