General Cleaning Instructions
For normal everyday cleaning, we suggest the use of a mild soap and water with a soft washcloth. Use of scouring pads or abrasive cleaners will dull the surface. Should you wish to use a product not listed below, test on a small area in the corner of the skirt before applying to the entire bathtub. Always review individual cleaners' instructions before use. Always rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Recommended Cleaners
Scrub Free for Soap Scum or Scrub Free for Mildew is our #1 recommended cleaner! It is available at many grocery and retail stores. Vinegar and water may also be used to soften water minerals. If you require a disinfectant, you may use Clorox Bleach diluted with water to sanitize.

DO NOT USE:
Original Clean Shower, Clean Shower for plastic Showers and Glass, Soft Scrub, Dow disinfectant cleaner with or without Scrubbing Bubbles, Lysol disinfectant cleaner, acetone, Lestoil, ammonia, fingernail polish remover, aerosol cleaners or scouring pads. *Use of these chemicals will cause a dull surface and/or an easily recognizable chemical crack. This will void your product warranty. There is no need to use abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners dull the gloss over a period of years. In extreme cases where the recommended cleaners do not work, use a Chore Boy or a 3M Sponge pad. Make sure you use the ones recommended for Teflon Surfaces.

Drain Cleaners
Caution: liquid drain cleaners are recommended over powders and/ or crystal; however, when using liquid drain cleaning agents, bail the standing water out of the bathtub and remove the drain plug. Use a funnel to prevent spills and apply the chemicals directly down the drain. Always make certain that chemicals do not come in contact with the bathtub surface. Use drain cleaners sparingly, so that they do not boil out and attack the bathtub surface. Removing light scratches, abrasions, etc.
Should you accidentally use an abrasive cleaner or incur a minor scratch in you bathtub, it may be restored to its original glossy finish. You can do this by using a liquid acrylic car wax; we have had great success with a car wax called Nu-Finish. It comes in an orange bottle and is available at most automotive stores. Should you wish to use any other polishing waxes or compounds, be sure to test in a corner area of the skirt that is not highly visible.
