How To Clean A Refinished Bathtub


BathArt’s Bathroom Refinishing Tip Of The Day

How to Maintain and clean a refinished bathtub?



The truth is that a properly refinished bathtub will last a minimum of 20 years with proper care and maintenance.  What does a properly refinished bathtub mean?? That's a bathtub that has been professionally refinished by a company certified and trained in the professionalism of bathroom and kitchen refinishing.  Here at BathArt we truly believe a bathtub that has been acid washed, cleaned and sanded prior to primer application and then followed by at least 3 solid polyurethane coats will last longer then a new hardware store fabricated bathtub.

Here at BathArt Refinishing we educate all our customers on the proper care and maintenance suggestions for cleaning and caring for a refinished bathtub.  Here are a few tips and bullet points we recommend you use when cleaning a refinished or even bare bathtub unit.

First never, ever use any sort of abrasive chemicals, they only damage the integrity of the bathtub and cause pitting, and coating damaging staining.  We always recommend using scrubbing bubbles, this is a great non-abrasive product that is safe for use on refinished and non-refinished bathtubs.

** BathArt Money saving tip - Water and Vinegar mixture. Yes, water and vinegar, very inexpensive  and a great disinfectant and best of all, it's safe and non-abrasive.

We recommend using a microfiber cloth or soft sponge when wiping product onto and off of fixtures.
