Care and Cleaning

Now that your bath or kitchen resurfacing is complete, let's talk about caring for and cleaning your newly refinished tub, shower, or countertop. Proper care will give your refinished surfaces a long life.

Tubs
  1. Some things to avoid are the use of any type of suction mounted accessories; suction mounted soap dishes, shampoo and conditioner holders, and, most importantly, suction type bathtub mats. These products will pull on the refinishing 24 hours a day, and over time they will ruin the coating of your bathtub or tile.

  2. Avoid bathing dogs or cats, in the bathtub. Their claws are very sharp and can scratch the refinished surfaces. If you must use the bathtub to wash your pet, put a soft rubber pad or bathtub mat over the surface and be very careful. Remember to remove the bath mat after each use.

  3. You will find that your newly refinished bathtub, tile or fiberglass shower is a breeze to clean. Many over-the-counter products can be used to achieve excellent results. Tub & Tile cleaners are the only products we recommend for bathtubs, tiles, and sinks. Cleansers such as Comet, Bon Ami, or Ajax will scratch the finish. Some colored window cleaners can stain your new bathtub.

  4. When wiping the refinished bathtub or tile surface, always use a sponge or soft cloth. Never use scrub pads as these will damage the finish.


Countertops
  1. Fantastik and Formula 409 are both great for countertops. Avoid cleaners that contain bleach, ammonia, citrus or abrasives. Citrus products and industrial strength cleaners contain acids that can etch your refinished countertops.

  2. If disinfecting is required, don't use bleach. Instead, use an anti-bacterial such as Lysol or the "scrubbing bubbles" cleaner. Some colored window cleaners can stain your new countertop.

  3. When wiping a countertop, always use a sponge or cloth. Never use scrub pads as these will damage the finish.
