ACRYLIC BATHTUB AND SHOWER ENCLOSURE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

ACRYLIC BATHTUBS AND ACRYLIC SHOWER ENCLOSURES ARE NOT MADE TO RESIST ABRASION. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU A BEAUTIFUL, EASY TO CLEAN, SANITARY SURFACE FOR BATHING. THEREFORE, AVOID USING SCOURING PADS OR HARSH CLEANERS AS THEY WILL DULL THE TUBS SURFACE AND MAY REMOVE ITS SHINY FINISH. A LIGHT RINSE IS RECOMMENDED AFTER EACH USE. A RECOMMENED AND NON ABRASIVE CLEANER THAT WORKS GREAT WITH ACRYLIC TUB/SHOWER WALLS IS A PRODUCT CALLED GEL GLOSS(LIQUID) AND CAN BE PURCHASED AT YOUR LOCAL HOME DEPOT.

SOME SAFE AND EFFECTIVE CLEANERS: KABOOM SHOWER TUB & TILE CLEANER, TILEX FRESH SHOWER, GREENWORKS NATURAL BATHROOM CLEANER, WINDEX, LYSOL GEL BATHROOM CLEANER. YOU MIGHT ALSO TRY A JOY DISHWASHING LIQUID, SINCE IT DOES NOT LEAVE FILM OR SPOTS. ALWAYS RINSE THROUGHLY AFTER CLEANING.

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE CLEANERS SUCH AS: SOFT SCRUB, MR. CLEAN, DISINFECTANT CLEANERS, ACETONE, LESTOIL, TOUGH ACT, AMMONIA, FINGER NAIL POLISH REMOVER, ANY AEROSOL CLEANERS OR HYPOCHLORITE (KNOWN AS RAW BLEACH).

AS WITH ANY PRODUCT, WE RECOMMEND TO ALWAYS TEST A SMALL AREA OF THE CORNER OF THE TUB SKIRT BEFORE APPLYING TO THE COMPLETE BATH AREA. USE ALL CLEANING PRODUCTS AS DIRECTED.
