As with any other luxury item, maintenance and care are critical to the long lasting
quality and enjoyment of your walk-in tub. The proper care and maintenance
outlined in this section are necessary to ensure the longevity of the unit. Damage
caused by not following the care and maintenance guidelines in this section is not
covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
The unit is constructed from high quality acrylic and with proper care, the unit will
maintain its nice look and finish.
IMPORTANT:
Never use an abrasive cleaner such as Comet or Ajax to clean the
acrylic surface. These cleaners will scratch the surface and dull the finish. In
addition, do not use any of the following products to clean the acrylic surface:
Acetone
MEK
Mineral spirits
any other solvent based cleaner
You can clean the acrylic surface with a mild non-abrasive cleaner such as Soft
Scrub or other cleaning products formulated for acrylic surfaces.
You can buff and polish the acrylic surface using any good polishing compound
such as Maguire's #10 Mirror glaze, toothpaste, or automotive polishing paste.
Using these types of products will help maintain the shine and luster of the acrylic
surface.
If you happen to discover any small minor surface scratches in the acrylic you can
use 600# grit wet sand paper to lightly buff out any scratches, and then use a
surface polish to restore the shine and luster.
For deep scratches or chips where material has been removed, purchase an
acrylic repair kit, which is available through hardware stores and home centers.
Read and follow all of the instruction contained in the kit.
