Before you need the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\/remodeling\/onyx-collection-st-louis\" target=\"_blank\">onyx repair in O&#8217;Fallon, MO<\/a> residents trust, you can prevent wear and tear with a little bit of maintenance. Here\u2019s a quick checklist to keep your Onyx Collection looking pristine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning Onyx Bathroom Products the Right Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Solid surface products are made with a 63% Alumina design. This doesn\u2019t mean much on your end, other than the fact that you need to keep your countertops clear to prevent serious damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a simple solution or approved chemical cleaners, you can remove any surface texture that one may describe as \u201cgritty.\u201d Coupled with a simple scrub brush, chemicals will deal with most of the problems you encounter with your Onyx countertops and surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cut Away Excess Silicone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a little bit of extra silicone along the edge of your Onyx countertops? That\u2019s okay. You can cut that additional silicone off with simple tools, or use items such as electric sanders to reduce any jagged edges where your silicone used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this leaves some room for error, reducing or removing excess silicone from the edge of your Onyx countertops is fairly simple. Be sure to sand or smooth the edges down after removing silicone to prevent any unnecessary tearring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Surfaces Clear to Prevent Hard Water Buildup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard water buildup is difficult to get rid of later on down the line. While it is possible to remodel it from your Onyx countertops, you should work on reducing hard water buildup in the first place. Over time, a white, chalky substance can form on your countertops if you aren\u2019t careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple cleaning solutions, such as white distilled vinegar, help to break down thick buildup and dissolve it as quickly as possible. Just be sure to keep those countertops clear so this doesn&#8217;t happen again in the future. Hard water buildup is something you\u2019ll likely always battle against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s Hard to Stain the Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Onyx Collection has a finish on the outside that\u2019s extremely difficult to stain. You want to be rough on hard water buildup, mildew growth, and any spills on your surface areas. Don\u2019t go so easy that you aren\u2019t sure whether or not you cleaned the area up properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you aren\u2019t using extremely abrasive materials to clean with, such as steel wool or wired brushes, you\u2019re not likely to cause any long-term damage to your Onyx Collection surfaces. Wipe it down regularly and keep it dry to protect the finish as best as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Call for Repair Before the Problem Gets Worse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These onyx countertops, showers, and bathroom accessories all look fantastic. Now you know how to keep them looking their best. If you run into any problems that require specific care from trusted professionals, you know who to call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Contact us<\/strong><\/a><strong> today to repair and maintain every piece of your bathroom\u2019s onyx collection so it keeps its luster for years to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Onyx Collection provides some of the most outstanding bathroom aesthetics that you can dream of, but it doesn\u2019t mean everything they create is perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78,81],"tags":[105,103],"class_list":["post-1224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-home-improvement","category-plumbing-service","tag-bathroom-remodel","tag-ofallon"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1224"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1229,"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224\/revisions\/1229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.performanceplumbinginc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
