Bathrooms are places where the residents of a house indulge in refreshing baths. However, it has been observed many a time that washbasins are items that are frequently ignored when building a luxury bathroom.

A luxury bathroom is functionally and aesthetically complete only with the installation of a durable but good-looking washbasin. The good choice of a washbasin contributes to the look of the bathroom and forms a good fit with the other accessories.

About choosing the best-fit washbasins for your luxury bathrooms, this does not require any expertise or experience for that matter. However, you may have to remember some basics. Let us see how to do this activity easily.

Counter-top Basin

When choosing a counter-top basin, another point to be kept in mind along with aesthetics is its durability. Also referred to as drop-ins or self-rimming basins, these are easy to install and fit into different types of countertops. These are standard choices in luxury bathrooms. They are commonly selected for resorts, spas, and hotel bathrooms. However, no rule says these cannot be installed in residential bathrooms.

Washbasins with Pedestals

The washbasin stand is referred to as the pedestal. Sometimes the washbasin and pedestal are observed to be single units. Some other times they come as separate pieces that are detachable from one another.

If you are a homeowner wanting to set up a designer bathroom, then it is a good idea to have a single-pedestal-basin unit chosen for your bathroom. There are modern themes available for such washbasins.

They are the best choice when it comes to guest bathrooms in a house, powder rooms, or anywhere else where there is limited space. This type of washbasin installation creates an illusion of larger space and adds to the artistic appeal as well.

Wall-Mounted Wash Basin

The wall-mounted model of the washbasin is fixed to the bathroom wall with the help of screws. The user can fix the basin at any preferred height on the wall. If you are opting to fix wall-mounted washbasins, choose lighter models. This type comes at a cheaper price than the pedestal-type of washbasins. There are different thematic and design versions that are available in this type. This is the best choice when working on a tight budget.

The Under-counter Wash Basin

If you are looking to install an easy-to-clean washbasin, then this is the best choice. Moreover, they are a good choice for modern bathrooms. These washbasins do not have rims that can collect and store dirt. Hence they are very easily maintained.

The Above-Counter Wash Basins

This is the best fixture choice for homeowners looking to build an ultra-modern bathroom in their homes. The washbasin is designed to rise above the level of the counter. The design of the washbasin is such that it becomes the focal point of attention. This type of washbasin installation is usually a part of urban homes. The height of such a washbasin should be appropriate so that users can reach out to the faucets in a comfortable manner during washing.

The best washbasins can be chosen by keeping the users' requirements in mind during its design and selection. Choice of the right type of washbasin for your luxury living/commercial space also serves to up the aesthetic appeal in addition to improving the resale value of the property.

How to Clean Sanitary ware – Wash Basins

It always gives you a nice feeling when you enter a bathroom that is tidy and clean. Whatever be the sanitary ware you install, it is important to keep them clean every day. However, this cleanliness is important from many viewpoints. The benefits that come from maintaining a clean bathroom are as follows:

• A bathroom is a place that collects germs and bacteria easily. A dirty bathroom can cause health issues for those using the washroom.
• You can avoid a foul odor that is likely to emanate from a dirty bathroom by keeping it clean.
• A clean bathroom is always pleasant to behold.

Cleaning Guidelines for Ceramic Sanitary ware

Use a cleaner that is a cleaner cum deodorizer and contains a fungicide/virucide. Dilute the cleaner to the required extent and around the washbasin and the rim. Choosing the appropriate cleaner for ceramic washbasins is required in order to carry out the cleaning properly.

A combination of hot water and vinegar can also be used as a cleaning solution. The grime and vinegar can be removed by washing the basin for the second time with detergent and warm water.

Let the cleaner stay on the surfaces for at least a few minutes to ensure that the bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms are killed. Using a brush, clean all the parts of the washbasin that could potentially hide the germs: the rim and below the faucet. Using a very rough brush can cause scratch marks on ceramic surfaces. Therefore an appropriate brush has to be chosen.

Once completed, rinse all the areas thoroughly with clean water. You can use a soft cloth or a clean dry towel to wipe away the wetness and allow the washbasin to stay dry and clean.

Washbasins should be cleaned at least once a day so that the area remains germ-free. These simple cleaning tips when implemented help you to live and enjoy in a germ-free space.
