How to avoid common mistakes when cleaning Meden-Inmed bathtubs
Improper cleaning practices can damage the bathtubs and reduce their performance. Here are the most common mistakes and how to avoid them:
Using aggressive chemicals
Skipping daily cleaning
Neglecting the whirlpool system and descaling
Using the wrong tools
Failing to follow the manufacturer's instructions
Following these rules will help avoid costly repairs and ensure the full safety and hygiene of Meden-Inmed bathtubs.
Safe storage and preparation of cleaning agents – The most important rules
The effectiveness and safe use of cleaning agents depend on proper handling at every stage of their use. Special attention should be paid to the proper storage of preparations, which should be kept in a dry, cool place, protected from direct sunlight. It is also important to close the packaging tightly, preventing both evaporation and accidental spillage of the products.
When preparing disinfectant solutions, it is crucial to follow the dosing instructions precisely. This prevents the solution from being too concentrated or, conversely, too weak to be effective. When working with cleaning and disinfecting agents, it is essential to use appropriate protective equipment, including gloves and safety goggles.
For safety reasons, all chemicals should be stored out of the reach of children. Additionally, never mix different preparations, as this can lead to dangerous chemical reactions. Following these rules not only guarantees safe use but also allows the products to remain fully effective for a longer period.
