fixtures or lines to carry or lower the unit.

Cleanup
To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bathtub, never use abrasive cleaners. For most soiled surfaces, a
mild liquid detergent and warm water is sufficient. The following is also recommended:
•
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Spots left by plaster or grout can be removed if lightly rubbed
with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes or other metal tools, as they
will damage the bathtub’s surface.
•
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with Fantastik® or soapy water.
•
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the bathtub with a special compound,
Meguiar’s #10 Mirror Glaze. If that is not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application
of automotive paste wax.
•
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Call Jacuzzi Luxury Bath
to find a service agent in your area.
