Care

Proper care of refinished bathtubs, showers, and countertops is essential for maintaining their durability and appearance for years to come. These newly restored surfaces are designed to last, but regular, gentle cleaning and proper maintenance help protect the finish from scratches, stains, and everyday wear. Avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive tools will keep your surfaces looking smooth and glossy, ensuring you get the longest possible life from your investment. By following a few simple care guidelines, you’ll enjoy the beauty and function of your refinished surfaces well into the future.

Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.

  • Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after applying cleaner. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.
  • Do not allow the cleaner to soak.
  • Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.

  • Allow 24 hours for the finish to cure, at which point recaulking should be done if necessary.
  • Wipe your tub or shower dry after use for the first seven days.
  • Always protect the surface when any remodeling or the like is taking place around it.
  • Always use a cutting board and trivets (hot pads) to protect your new countertop surface.
  • Cleaning your new surface on a regular basis is recommended to ensure it maintains a high gloss and attractive appearance.

For normal everyday cleaning, we suggest any non-abrasive cleaner. Some suggestions include:

  • Dawn dish soap diluted in water
  • Mr. Clean scrubbing bubbles
  • Gel Gloss
  • Lysol tub and tile
  • Ammonia-free glass and surface cleaner
  • Any cleaner that is said to be safe to use on acrylic per the manufacturer

In extreme circumstances where the recommended cleaners do not work, these cleaners may be used in moderation in small areas:

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Do not use your refinished fixture until any necessary caulking has been done and allowed to cure properly.

Do not use a bath mat with suction cups under any circumstance. If a non-suction cup-type mat is used, it must be removed after every use and must be approved in writing by TubFusioN/ASR Inc.

Never use a (Draino) type of drain cleaner with standing water in the fixture. It should be poured directly down the drain, and splashing should be rinsed immediately.

Do not bathe your pets in your new finished tub. Dog bathing would almost certainly scratch up your finish and void your warranty. Children’s toys should be monitored to ensure only soft plastics, sponge-like and rubber toys are used.

Avoid the following from coming into contact with your new surface:

  • Hair dyes, liquid bandages, muriatic acid, food colorings, sharp objects, and chemicals such as CLR, Lime-Away, The Works or anything else acidic or caustic.
  • Stick-on non-skids may be applied to your tub or shower bottom but must be removed by a professional only! We would recommend a non-skid put into the finish.

  • Abrasive scouring pad
  • Hard bristle brush
  • Ammonia cleaners
  • Abrasives such as Comet, Ajax,  Bar Keepers Friend, or soft scrub

Warning: The use of these chemicals will cause a dull surface over a period of time and/or easily recognizable chemical cracks. Damages from using these chemicals will void your product’s warranty, employ the guidelines above to ensure the lasting quality and beauty of your investment.
