Install water-resistant gypsum board and finish surface material. Seal all edges with silicone caulking to prevent water damage.
Post- Installation Clean-Up
Remove all construction debris from the tub. Remove tile grout with a wooden
popsicle stick or tongue depressor. Never use wire brushes or any metal
implements on the tub surface.
Using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent can generally complete post-
installation cleanup. Use Painter’s naphtha to remove excess adhesives and/or
wet oil-based paint.
AFTERCARE and CLEANING
- Do not fill the tub with extremely hot water as it may damage the surface.
- Always remove bath mat after use and hang to dry. Do not leave the bath mat to dry in the tub to prevent surface damage.
- Use mild liquid household detergent cleaner after use. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
AVOID USING HARSH CHEMICALS ON ACRYLIC SURFACES.
- Do not fill the tub with extremely hot water as it may damage the tub’s surface.
- To prevent dulling of the surface, avoid abrasive cleaners or powders.
- Restore dull areas by rubbing with a white polishing compound and applying a “liquid wax”.
- Do not wax areas where you walk or stand.
- Do not use nail polish remover, acetone, dry cleaning fluid, paint remover, or other solvents on the surface.
- After caustic drain cleaners have been applied, clean the surrounding surface immediately.
- Prevent damage to the surface by avoiding contact with burning cigarettes.
