Caring For Your Refinished Bathtub

Bathtub Refinishing:
Caring For Your Refinished Tub

Due to the non-porous surface of the finish, there is no need to use abrasive cleansers on refinished bathtubs. Any household liquid detergent will give excellent results. To remove mineral stains, use a mild acid solution such as a liquid bowl cleaner.

All organic coatings must cure. They start to cure at the time of application and must cure for a total of approximately 30 days.

Top Ten List of Rules For Your Refinished Bathtub:

1. DO NOT use the surface for 36 hours

2. DO NOT lay soap or bottles or any objects on the finish at any time!

4. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers. No S-O-S Pads. No Comet. No Soft Scrub.
