How to clean Acrylic shower

USE THESE NON-ABRASIVE CLEANERS

We recommend that you clean your acrylic bathing product made of Delta ProCrylic or Acrylic with Innovex Technology with non-abrasive soaps and cleaners, such as:

Dishwashing detergent

Power Bathroom Cleaner

CLR® Bath & Kitchen® Cleaner

Formula 409® All-Purpose Cleaner

Iron Out® Rust Stain Remover

When it’s time to clean, always use a terry cloth towel, soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the acrylic surface. Don’t use abrasive scrubbing pads, steel wool or sponges, cause permanent damage to the acrylic material. If you use a drain cleaner or clog remover, be sure to rinse thoroughly with water so no product is left standing near the drain.

Some chemicals and cleaners may deteriorate acrylic surfaces, causing cracks and, potentially, property damage. To avoid this, don’t use cleaning products that state on their label that they are not suitable for use on Acrylic, ABS, Polystyrene or Plastic. Be sure to check the label of any product before you apply it to the surface; it’s easier to avoid damage than to try to remedy it.

DO NOT USE THESE CLEANERS

Chemicals we do not recommend using to clean acrylic showers/tubs:

Solvents (turpentine, lacquer thinner, mineral spirits, paint thinner, MEK, xylene, acetone, naphtha, etc.)

Simple Green® All-Purpose Cleaner

Pine-Sol® Original

Scrubbing Bubbles® Cleaner

Tilex® Bathroom Cleaner

The Works® Tub & Shower Cleaner

Lysol® with Hydrogen Peroxide Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Windex® Vinegar Multi-Surface Cleaner

Sealant Application Tips

When you’re ready to apply sealant, a little planning goes a long way. Pick up some painter’s tape and use it to mask off the seam to help make cleaning up easier. When you’re applying the bead, use a constant, steady speed to avoid an uneven finish. Use a caulk tool or a plastic spoon to work the sealant into the joint. Wetting the tool with denatured alcohol will help create a smooth finish. Follow the directions on the back of the tube for cure time.

Certain chemicals and cleaners may deteriorate acrylic surfaces, causing cracks and, potentially, property damage. After you’re finished applying it, clean up the product surface and remove any excess sealant with denatured alcohol. Don’t use solvents (turpentine, lacquer thinner, mineral spirits, paint thinner, MEK, xylene, acetone, naphtha, etc.) that can wreak havoc on an acrylic surface.

With a little care and consideration, you can prevent damage to your acrylic shower or tub. Keep a supply of soft cloths handy and remove any damaging products or abrasive scrubbing items from the bathroom to ensure they aren’t around when it’s time to clean.
