Care & Maintenance

When properly maintained, your acrylic bath systems will remain clean and beautiful for many years. It’s important to know that acrylic baths are not resistant to abrasive materials and cleaning products, but, fortunately, these types of products are not necessary when maintaining your fixture. Simply rinsing your tub with water and wiping the surface with a cloth or soft sponge is all you need. Costly bathroom cleaners can damage acrylic.

If you prefer cleaning your tub with more than water, make sure you choose products that are labeled as safe for acrylic, or try dishwashing liquid. Whatever product you use, make sure to rinse thoroughly after each use.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the products that are best suited for preserving your acrylic bath products, as well as those that you should avoid:

APPROVED ACRYLIC CLEANERS:

• Zep Professional Strength Shower Tub & Tile Cleaner
• Dawn Dish Detergent
• Rubbermaid Commercial Strength Shower & Tile Cleaner
• Scrum Free Original Soap Scum Remover
• Kaboom Shower Tub & Tile Cleaner with Oxy Clean
• Simple Green All Purpose Cleaners
• Simple Green Lime Scale Remover
• Simple Green Natural Bathroom Cleaner
• All Fragranzia products
• All Tilex products
• All Pine-Sol Products
• All Formula 409 products (except Pro 409)

DO NOT USE:

• Ammonia products
• Abrasive cleaners or scouring pads
• Aerosol cleaners
• Any cleaners containing bleach
• Ajax
• Comet
• Fantastik
• Mr. Clean products
• Scrubbing Bubbles
• Green Works Bathroom Cleaner
• Soft Scrub
• Tough Act
• Drain cleaners

Using any of the products cited in the “DO NOT USE” list can damage your acrylic bath system and will void your product warranty. If you’re unsure of whether a cleaning product is safe to use, test the product on a small area of the corner of the skirt before applying elsewhere. It’s also important to thoroughly review product instructions and restrictions before use.

DRAIN CLEANERS:

Chemical drain cleaners can damage your acrylic bath system and pose a serious hazard to your health. Even small amounts can injure your skin, eyes, and lungs. Instead of resorting to caustic, chemically-based drain clog removers, opt for a plunger, plumber’s snake, or drain auger. These products are available at most hardware stores and are easy to operate. Should you require further assistance, contact a bathroom remodeling professional.
