For light daily use, we recommend rinsing the bath and/or basin with plenty of warm, soapy water. Bello has excellent stain resistance, but we recommend that bath and/or basin water containing additives (oils, bath salts, dyes etc.) is always drained and then the bath and/or basin cleaned with fresh, warm water immediately after use. For unfamiliar surfaces test in small, inconspicuous area first.
General Care
- Do not clean with hot water when room temperature is below freezing.
- Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, paint thinner, chloride solvents or any strong acid or base, as this will permanently damage the finish. Also avoid any cleaners that include lime removal agents such as CLR or Lime-A-Way, as these can also damage the finish. Avoid any bath products that contain natural or artificial dyes. Bello strongly recommends a professional surface repair person for deep scratches, chips or gouges,
General Cleaning Instructions
When Cleaning Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Apply common household, non-abrasive cleaner. (i.e., a mild dishwashing detergent such as Ivory Liquid). Here are some common stain situations and their corresponding cleaning methods
1.Non-Greasy Stains:
Stains such as water marks after using the bathtub, wine, and food sauces can be cleaned with water and a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe simultaneously.
2.Greasy Stains:
For greasy stains like body oils, food oils, or mechanical grease, use hand soap or a kitchen-neutral cleaner. Wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water, then rinse with water.
3.Stains from Oil-Based Markers or Paint:
For oil-based marker stains, paint, etc., use organic solvents such as acetone or alcohol along with a soft cloth. After wiping, clean the area with a neutral detergent and rinse thoroughly with water.
4.Scratches:
For minor scratches, lightly rub with a scouring pad. For severe scratches, repeatedly rub with a scouring pad, then use car polish wax or floor polish wax with a soft cloth to reduce the appearance of the scratches. Note that it’s hard to remove scratches completely, but this can lessen their visibility. Do not use sandpaper.
5.If using a sprayer hold 6″ – 12″ from the surface and spray the area. Note: For vertical surfaces, start from the bottom and work upward. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad.
Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Scouring pads will deteriorate the finish. Never use any type of “scrubbing bubbles” or aerosol spray cleaners on the Bello product.
Never use bleach, ammonia or organic solvents, such as lacquer, alcohol, acids or alkalis to come into contact with the product surface. Never use abrasive cleansers. If any product feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers, do not use on the Bello surface as permanent damage will occur.
If any marks are not removed with this method, we recommend a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Clean grease, oil, paint or ink stains with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser. rinse and dry with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains and small scratches sanding with 180 grit wet/dry sandpaper and then cleaning with damp cloth. Always rinse any cleaning products off the bath and/or basin after use with fresh, clean water.
Exterior Color
