Thank you for your business, here are a few things that we encourage you to fallow to help keep
your newly resurfaced tub, shower, or countertops looking fresh and clean.
Cleaning
• Liquid Non-Abrasives Work Best
-The reason is that a refinished tub coating is layers of specialized paint that can be
nicked or scratched without care, so it's best to stick to non-abrasive cleaners. However,
for non-abrasive cleaners to work effectively, you will need to clean the tub frequently
before soap scum or hard water deposits develop.
• List of cleaners we recommend
• Scrubbing Bubbles
• Formula 409 (without bleach)
• Lysol Basin Tub and Tile Cleaner
• Vinegar and Water
Avoid These Cleaning Methods for Reglazed Tubs
• Do Not Use Abrasives
Abrasives include harsh or gritty cleaners as well as rough sponges, like Scotch-Brite pads, steel
wool soap pads, or sponges with an abrasive layer on one side. Most tub refinishers and tub
coating manufacturers also warn against any products containing bleach or ammonia. Avoid
using these common cleansers when cleaning a reglazed tub:
- Powdered cleansers. This includes products like Ajax or Comet: Both products are abrasive
and contain bleach.
- Bar Keepers Friend: Since this product does not contain bleach, it's often advertised as a more
gentle way to clean than using Ajax or Comet. But the abrasives still can scratch the tub.
- Ammonia: Or any cleaners containing ammonia.
- Bleach: Straight household bleach or cleaners boosted with bleach should not be used on
refinished tubs.
- Abrasive cream cleansers: Some of these products even contain the word "soft" in their name,
but they still aren't soft enough for refinished tubs.
• Do Not Steam Clean
A household steam cleaner with a scrubbing attachment may seem like a good way to get rid of
all that dirt and soap gunk without using abrasives. Unfortunately, steam doesn't get the job done
when it comes to reglazed tub finishes, and it could quickly damage the finish, especially if it gets
underneath the coating or through any cracks.
• Do Not Power Wash
Power washing old or original tile in a tub and shower can be done but it's not common and you
should never attempt it on a reglazed surface. The action is simply too powerful for the coating to
withstand. Power washing a reglazed surface could easily lead to peeling or other damage to the
coating. It would also void the warranty on a professional refinishing job.
Tools and equipment needed:
• Bucket or container for rinse water
• Non-abrasive cleaner
• Sponge, microfiber cloth, or soft-bristle nylon brush
• Soft towel or rag
Steps when cleaning.
Rinse the tub with warm water to remove hair and excess soap residue. Fill a container like a
kitchen measuring cup or a plastic bowl with water and use it to rinse all areas of the tub.
Liberally apply the cleaner of your choice to all surfaces of the tub. Spread or spray the cleaner
all around to give it a chance to work on every area of the tub. If you're using dish soap, pour
some onto the surface and spread it with a sponge.
Leave the cleaner in place for about 5 minutes. This helps to cut through remaining soap residue
and oils. It also gives a disinfectant cleaner time to disinfect. (Wiping it off too quickly doesn't
allow the cleaner to disinfect properly.)
Scrub the entire tub surface with a standard cellulose sponge (without any scouring material on
either side of the sponge) or a microfiber cloth. If the tub has a non-slip surface, you can scrub
this area with a soft, nylon-bristle brush.
Thoroughly rinse the tub, leaving no traces of cleaner. This is especially important when using
dish soap, which can be dangerously slippery if left on a tub surface. Also, any cleaner can
damage a tub's finish if it's allowed to dry on the surface.
Wipe the tub dry with a soft towel or cloth to remove water droplets. Then buff the finish to a like-
new shine. You don't need to buff the surface after every cleaning, but it's an easy way to restore
the shine.
With these steps to clean and take care of your newly resurfaced tub or shower will help the the
product to look great for years to come.
