PREVENT DIRT ACCUMULATING
Of course, one of the first rules to try not to damage the steel surfaces is to try to clean it regularly, thus preventing excess dirt from accumulating and, consequently, becoming encrusted. To wash our top or steel surfaces, it will be sufficient to use the very common dish detergent or steel degreaser.
SOLUTION FOR SCULPTED SURFACES
One of the most used and effective remedies for removing encrustations, without however damaging our steel surfaces, is sodium bicarbonate, which has the ability to exert a very slight abrasive action, without however scratching or damaging the surfaces. It will therefore be sufficient to fill a basin with hot water and bicarbonate, wash the affected encrusted surface and finally rinse and dry.
METHODS FOR POLISHING AND REMOVING MARKS
If we talk instead of polishing and removing halos from the various stainless steel surfaces, the main method is the use of a completely natural mixture: lemon, which guarantees the removal of stains and halos, and olive oil, capable to properly polish the steel and to make any fingerprints disappear completely.
Another natural solution, less known, but very effective is the white clay stone, very useful both for cleaning and for polishing steel surfaces; moreover, if used with sparkling water, it allows us to further accentuate the polishing.
HOW TO REMOVE LIMESCALE
On the podium as an effective method for removing really stubborn stains and above all the dreaded limescale, we see white vinegar, which in addition to restoring dated and worn steel surfaces to almost new condition, such as sinks, taps, hoods and so on, gives greater shine. However, remember to dilute it in water and use a cloth soaked in this mixture to obtain an optimal result and therefore not using pure white vinegar, as it could be too aggressive and damage the stainless steel surfaces.
REMOVE GREASE AND BURN
Otherwise, an optimal solution to remove fatty parts or try to eliminate the annoying burn marks, due to hot pans and utensils, is the use of flour or sieved fine ash: both, combined with water to form a sort of cream, they allow the removal of burns and grease, restoring the various steel surfaces in the best possible way.
MISTAKES TO AVOID
Although stainless steel is a very resistant material, it must be treated with care, as we have seen previously, according to need. The advice is, therefore, to avoid using aggressive methods and products that can damage it, such as abrasive sponges, which could scratch it a lot, or products such as bleach, ammonia or muriatic acid, which could cause some irreversible stains.
When furnishing a bathroom, sanitary ware is often overlooked. We tend to focus on tiles, faucets, or furniture—but the shape (and function) of the toilet and bidet are what truly define daily comfort and the overall style of the space. Today, you can choose between curved or angular designs, floor-mounted or wall-hung models, compact or extra-comfy versions. But which one is right for your space? This article will help you choose between form and function… or find the perfect balance of both.
When we think about interior design, our minds go straight to colors, furniture, or style. But there’s a subtle, powerful element that can dramatically change how a space feels: texture.
With summer approaching, the desire to spend more time outdoors grows stronger. Whether you have a garden, a terrace, or even just a small balcony, your outdoor space can be transformed into an open-air living room—perfect for relaxing, entertaining guests, or enjoying some quiet time. But how do you create a space that’s beautiful, comfortable, and functional?
Luxury is not always about opulence, extravagance, or excess. The concept of "quiet luxury" is based on subtle elegance, high-quality materials, and refined but essential design.In recent years, this philosophy has become a growing trend in interior design, prioritizing timeless beauty over fleeting trends. A luxurious space without exaggeration communicates sophistication through carefully chosen materials, colors, and details.
Have you ever entered a home and felt like you were stepping into another era? Or perhaps found yourself in a space that seemed to belong to a futuristic world?Interior design is not just about aesthetics—it has the power to alter our perception of time. Some spaces evoke nostalgia and familiarity, others embody modernity and innovation, while some feel timeless, transcending trends and specific periods.
Harmony in a space is not just a matter of personal taste—it often follows precise mathematical rules. Throughout history, artists, architects, and designers have applied geometric principles to create balanced and aesthetically pleasing spaces. One of these principles is the Golden Ratio, a perfect proportion found in nature, art, and architecture.
