Improved hygiene for your shower Achieve a lot with little effort

Regular cleaning is also essential in the shower area to ensure long-term cleanliness and hygiene. Even small everyday actions – such as wiping the shower walls, quickly rinsing the shower surface, and regular ventilation – help to effectively prevent limescale stains, soap residue and mould.

Choosing innovative functions in the shower and carefully selected materials further minimises cleaning effort and ensures that the shower not only looks clean, but stays that way.

Improved hygiene for your washbasin For an all-around clean feel

Toothpaste stains, limescale deposits on ceramics and taps, or a blocked trap impair functionality while affecting personal well-being at the washbasin area. Even simple habits help to keep the sink clean – such as a quick rinse after use, a wipe with a microfibre cloth or using liquid soap instead of solid soap.

Choosing smart solutions, practical functions for the washbasin and easy-to-clean materials as well significantly reduces cleaning effort and ensures lasting freshness in the bathroom.

Frequently asked questions about hygiene in the bathroom

Why is hygiene so important in the bathroom?

The bathroom is a wet room where germs and bacteria can easily multiply. Without regular cleaning, they can spread quickly. The high humidity can cause mould to form more quickly on shower curtains, along joints and in corners. Thorough cleaning and proper ventilation can prevent mould formation.

Bad odours caused by a blocked trap, by the toilet or by dirt impair your well-being. Personal hygiene is more relaxing and more pleasant in a clean bathroom.

Regular maintenance of the sanitary appliances extends their service life and saves repair costs.

Which areas are often overlooked when cleaning the bathroom?

Some areas are often overlooked when cleaning the bathroom, even though dirt can accumulate there. These include:

  • Door handles and light switches
  • Surfaces under and behind the WC
  • Toothbrush containers and soap dishes
  • Radiators and ventilation units
  • Shelves in the mirror cabinet
