How to Clean a Refinished Tub

While we no longer refinish bathtubs, Vintage Tub and Bath offers these general guidelines for caring for a refinished tub. This general reference should not replace the care and cleaning instructions provided by the company that refinished your tub; always check with your refinisher if you have any specific questions or concerns. Use the same care you would use to wash the hood of a new car. Never use abrasive cleaners! The refinished surface is non-porous; a mild, non-abrasive soap or tub cleaner combined with a soft cloth and water will clean your tub. The best way to keep your tub clean is to wipe it down with a towel after each use.

• Do not place soap, bottles, or any other object on the finish at any time.
• Repair leaky faucets.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers – this includes, but is not limited to, SOS® pads, Comet®, and Soft Scrub®.
• If your refinished tub does not have anti-skid etchings and/or you are using an anti-skid or safety mat, use one that does not have suction cups.
• If you are mounting your tub against a finished wall, caulk around the tub before using it.
• You can wax your tub every four months with a urethane polish to maintain its luster.
