Freshly Refinished Items Need Proper Care

 A 24 - 48 hour cure period is required to ensure the refinishing materials can properly adhere and bond with your refinished bathtub or shower. But knowing how to properly care for your refinished bathtub or shower can ensure it looks great for years to come.

As with anything, the lifespan depends on how you care for your refinished bathtub. To achieve the longest life possible, we recommend a weekly light cleaning of your new surface.  


We recommend a home based cleaning remedy: a simple 50/50 solution of White Vinegar and warm/hot water mixed in a spray bottle, with a little bit of liquid dish soap, which works great. However, you could also use products like Scrubbing Bubbles, Simple Green or Lysol Tub and Tile Cleaner. Let your preferred cleaner soak on the surface for 1-2 minutes and then wipe off with a damp, soft rag or soft sponge. For more Care Instructions click here.


What Products NOT To Use When Caring For a Refinished Bathtub

Please Do Not use any scouring pads or SOS sponges, bleach or products that contain bleach. Also, stay away from any harsh acidic or abrasive cleaners. Do not expose the surface to hair dyes as this can cause permanent staining.  


NO SUCTION MATS

The refinished surface of a bathtub, shower, or one piece unit should never have a suction based mat as it can damage the refinished surface. ONLY USE MATS MADE ESPECIALLY FOR REFINISHED TUBS.
