HOW DO YOU CLEAN AND REMOVE STAINS FROM AN ACRYLIC BATH?
Cleaning an acrylic bath is simple and easy, there are steps you should take to avoid mildew and stains. After every use, you should use a damp sponge or microfibre cleaning cloth along with a non-abrasive cleaning liquid or cream to clean the bath. Acrylic baths with a matte finish are supplied with sanding pads for tough dirt spots and stains. Due to its composition, acrylic can often react with harsh and abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the surface and leave stains. To fully clean an acrylic bathtub, use cleaning implements that are gentle on the surface such as non-abrasive cleaning solutions and materials. Different types of stains can become apparent on acrylic surfaces, including rust, general dirt stains and yellow stains caused by hard water. To remove harsh stains you should use a cleaning product designed to remove stains from acrylic products. Simply, apply the stain remover solution over the affected surfaces, and leave it for an hour. Rub the stains with a sponge, then wipe the entire tub followed by a rinse of clean water. Your acrylic bath should then be back to its original state. Some stains may prove difficult to remove and may require professional cleaning.
