How do you maintain the bathroom vanity cabinet?
Maintaining the vanity cabinet isn’t that difficult as long as the plumbing in your bathroom is solid and there are few moisture issues. If you have a large bathroom vanity, keeping it clean may take a little more time and attention. However, these tips will work for any vanity:
Start by wiping it down regularly with a cloth or paper towel.
Clean up any spills/messes right away (such as errant toothpaste that got away or that splash-back from the shower).
Keep the drawer tracks (if you have them) and doors clear of items. This will ensure that they don’t get damaged.
Wipe down inside the drawers and cabinets regularly.
Check for unseen leaks under the sink while cleaning.
If the vanity cabinet becomes worn or starts to show signs of age or water damage, it may need to be stripped down and repainted or re-stained and then sealed again.

How do you keep vanity tops and basin in good shape?
The best thing you can do is keep the sink clean at all times. Wipe it down regularly to prevent soap scum and other buildup. Don’t let stray hairs gather and get swept down the drain—that can create a plumbing nightmare. Use safe cleaners for your sink’s surface, and try to avoid harsh chemicals and bleach if you can. Regular cleaning can eliminate the need for these types of cleaners, which is better for everyone in your household.

How do you maintain quartz slab tops?
Quartz is an engineered stone, which means it’s very durable and well-suited for use as a bathroom vanity material. Again, you can just clean it with soap and water regularly or a simple antibacterial cleaner. If there’s dirt buildup, scrape it off gently with a plastic knife.
There are commercial stain removers for quartz counters. You should consult your vanity provider if you aren’t sure which products to use to keep your quartz vanity counter clean.
All water spillages, leaks, or flooding in and around the cabinet must be dried immediately. What this 2 minute video for vanity cleaning instructions.

What cleaners can I use on my bathroom vanity?
Depending on the part of your vanity that needs to be cleaned, you have a few different options. You can use a multi-purpose bathroom cleaner that is safe for all surfaces to minimise your cleaning product supply. You can also find cleaners for stone counters and special cleaning products for your sink to keep the mould and mildew buildup at bay.
Although they’re quite effective at removing the gross in showers and toilets, we don’t recommend abrasive cleaners for vanity cabinets made of wood or wood-like materials or for natural stone counters. The cleaners can cause damage to certain surfaces, so proceed with caution.

What can you do to protect the bathroom vanity from moisture?
Usually, the countertop materials used in the bathroom are moisture-resistant by nature. The cabinet itself, however, may not be. Unfinished wood or MDF, for example, would be very susceptible to moisture damage. However, if you paint or stain the vanity and seal it with a waterproof coating, you can add years of protection from all kinds of moisture, humidity, and potential water damage.
There are sealants for countertops and backsplashes and vanity medicine cabinets made of similar materials as the lower vanity cabinet. It’s also a good idea to install a high-powered vent fan in the bathroom to draw out moisture during shower and bath use.
