Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will preserve the appearance and longevity of your bathtub.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the tub with clean water and wipe it down with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
- General Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner specifically designed for acrylic surfaces. Apply with a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, wire brushes, or harsh chemicals (e.g., acetone, paint thinner, strong acids/bases) as these can damage the acrylic finish.
- Scratch Repair: Minor scratches on the acrylic surface can often be buffed out with a fine automotive polishing compound and a soft cloth.

| Water Leakage | Loose drain or overflow connections; damaged seals. | Check and tighten all plumbing connections. Inspect seals and replace if damaged. Consult a professional plumber if necessary. |
| Slow Drainage | Drain obstruction (hair, soap scum). | Remove the drain stopper and clear any blockages. Use a non-corrosive drain cleaner if needed. |
| Bathtub Not Level | Uneven floor; improperly adjusted leveling feet. | Adjust the leveling feet at the base of the tub until it is stable and level. |
