Acrylic Bathtub Care
Acrylic bathtubs are rapidly winning over the tub market from traditional cast iron bathtubs. The high performance properties of acrylic and its ability to be made into any shape or curve attract not only interior designers, but also consumers.
An acrylic bath is quite resistant to external factors and is able to maintain a presentable appearance and beautiful gloss for a long time, provided that the material is properly maintained. The most common problem with acrylic bathtubs is the appearance of scratches, which causes it to lose its gracious gloss.
One of the significant advantages of acrylic surface is its dirt-repellent properties. However, this does not mean that you will have to clean the tub less often. On the contrary, cleaning should be done regularly and at least once a week. The good news is that cleaning an acrylic bathtub takes much less time and effort.
What not to use in the maintenance of acrylic
Care of an acrylic surface should be as delicate as possible. Its resistance to mechanical damage disappears when abrasives are used on it.
The first step is to abandon all types of hard brushes, metal and any other scrapers and sponges with rough cleaning surface. Using any of the above will contribute to damaging the integrity and the distortion of the natural color of the bathtub.
Also, residents should never use aggressive chemicals in the cleaning acrylic sanitary wares. These include various powders, soda, pastes, gels and liquid products containing chlorine, acids, ammonia and alkalis.
Bulky, heavy, metal objects should not be placed in an acrylic bathtub. These include stools, basins and buckets. Pets can also damage the surface with their claws, so special silicone mats should be used to bathe them.
Limescale from hard tap water ruins the appearance of acrylic bathtubs, sometimes with an admixture of rust. Installing water filters will prevent this problem. If this is not possible, it is recommended to regularly wipe the tub with vinegar or lemon juice between cleanings.
The right way to clean an acrylic bath
When it comes to improvised home remedies, it is best to use a delicate foaming detergent in washing the tub. Ordinary liquid soap or shower gel works well. Dishwashing detergents can also be used.
Paired with a soft sponge or cloth, they will clean the acrylic bathtub well and will not damage it. Wiping the surface with a dry cloth at the end of the cleaning gives it an extra shine.
Modern developments in the chemical industry have made it possible to create maintenance products for acrylic sanitary ware that allow you to clean it effectively, but at the same time as delicately as possible.
These products are always produced in the form of soft creams or gels that do not contain abrasives.
If during the usage of the tub, scratches still appear on it, you can get rid of them by restoring the acrylic bathtub. This is done just by polishing the damaged area with a special tool for furniture. Also suitable for this purpose is a car polish.
