Maintenance
Your PROFLO Hillsboro tub is constructed from durable, Easy-Care acrylic material, making maintenance straightforward.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the tub regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and a non-abrasive, mild liquid cleaner specifically designed for acrylic surfaces.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, wire brushes, or harsh chemicals (e.g., acetone, paint thinner, strong acids, or alkalis) as these can damage the acrylic finish.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a diluted solution of white vinegar and water, or a specialized acrylic tub cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
- Preventing Scratches: Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the tub. Do not use the tub as a work surface.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slow Drainage | Hair or debris in drain; partially clogged P-trap. | Remove drain stopper and clear any visible obstructions. Use a drain snake or a chemical drain cleaner (ensure it's safe for acrylic and plumbing). |
| Water Leaks Around Drain/Overflow | Loose connections; worn gaskets. | Tighten drain and overflow connections. Inspect and replace gaskets if necessary. Professional plumbing assistance may be required. |
| Surface Scratches | Abrasive cleaning; impact from objects. | For minor scratches, use an acrylic repair kit or fine-grit sandpaper followed by a polishing compound designed for acrylic. Prevent future scratches by avoiding abrasive materials. |
| Water Stains/Discoloration | Hard water deposits; improper cleaning. | Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner or a diluted vinegar solution. Rinse thoroughly. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup. |
