What You Will Need
- Soft-bristle brush
- Mild detergent or porcelain cleaner
- Warm water
- White vinegar
- Microfiber cloth
- Porcelain polish
Step 1: Cleaning the Surface
Start by removing any loose dirt or debris from the porcelain stoneware surface. Use a soft-bristle brush to gently sweep away the dirt. Then, prepare a mixture of warm water and mild detergent or porcelain cleaner. Dip the brush in the mixture and scrub the stoneware in gentle circular motions. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry completely.
Step 2: Removing Stubborn Stains
If you have stubborn stains on your porcelain stoneware, you can use a mixture of warm water and white vinegar. Apply the mixture to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes. Gently scrub the area with a soft-bristle brush until the stain loosens. Rinse the surface with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Step 3: Applying Porcelain Polish
Once the surface is clean and dry, it’s time to apply the porcelain polish. Shake the bottle of polish well before use. Apply a small amount of polish to a clean microfiber cloth. In circular motions, gently rub the polish onto the stoneware surface. Make sure to cover the entire area evenly. Allow the polish to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 4: Buffing the Surface
After the porcelain polish has dried, use a clean microfiber cloth to buff the surface. Apply a moderate amount of pressure and move the cloth in circular motions. This will help to remove any residue and enhance the shine of the stoneware. Continue buffing until the desired shine is achieved.
Step 5: Maintenance Tips
- Regularly sweep or vacuum the porcelain stoneware surface to remove dirt and dust.
- Wipe up spills and stains immediately to prevent them from setting in.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, as they can damage the glossy finish.
- Consider using doormats or rugs in high-traffic areas to minimize wear and tear on the stoneware.
By following these simple steps and maintaining your glossy porcelain stoneware properly, you can enjoy its shine and beauty for years to come. Remember, regular cleaning and polishing will help to prevent dullness and keep your stoneware looking its best.
