If you have or are considering purchasing an acrylic tub, you have made a wise choice. Acrylic tubs are durable, lightweight, and will last a long time. Also, they come in a variety of styles such as vintage style, freestanding, clawfoot tubs, pedestal tubs, slipper, and double slipper, as well as dual ended tubs. Any of the acrylic tubs can be painted to match or compliment and bathroom decor.
After installing the acrylic tub you will want to incorporate the best practices regarding cleaning, so the tub and its sheen will last, especially if you have had the tub painted a custom color. It is best to use the mildest, nonabrasive cleansers to clean the tub. Soft Scrub, Kaboom, and Clorox Clean-up are just a few household cleaners that show no harmful effects on the acrylic. Use a thick, soft cloth to wipe the tub with.
When cleaning, use an adequate amount of cleanser and follow directions in order to eliminate any need for excessive scrubbing. Never use a scratchpad or brillo pad to clean acrylic tubs or showers as they will leave scratch marks. Additionally, don’t use abrasive cleaning products like Comet or Ajax as these will scratch or at least dull the sheen on the acrylic tub.
