Acrylic Tub Care and Maintenance
•
Acrylic tubs require more frequent washing than other tubs. Once a week is usually appropriate.
•
Use plain dishwashing liquid with plenty of hot water.
•
Use vinegar. This is great for hard water build-up. Spray a mixture of water and vinegar onto the affected areas
and let it sit for 30-45 minutes.
•
Scrub the affected areas and then rinse off with warm water. Be sure to use soft sponges.
•
You want to avoid abrasive cleaning pads or other products with fine grit.
•
Use soft cleaners are the key here, since acrylic is easily scratched.
•
Try bathroom cleaning products like Soft Scrub to remove stains from your acrylic tub.
•
Avoid pumice stones and scouring pads.
•
If the previous steps did not help to enhance the gloss finish, you can use a car polish wax on the area using a soft cloth; spread
small amounts over the area in need of refinishing. Remove excess polish and wax with a clean cloth. Allow the wax to dry; repeat
as necessary until shine is restored.
