Bathrooms
Today's tip:
Recently, we had our tub enclosure area replaced with acrylic. It's lovely, but delicate. That means, you just can't clean it the way you clean porcelain.
According to our manufacturer (and if your manufacturer has a different list, then use that one, by all means), the following are safe products to use on acrylic:
* Clean Shower Mountain Rain or Unscented
* Pure White Vinegar
* Glass Plus Glass and Surface Cleaner
* Old Dutch Cleaner with Bleach
* X-14 Instant Mildew Remover
* Windex Glass Cleaner
* 409 Cleaner
* Simplex Marble Safe Cleaner Sx
* Clorox Clean-Up
* Mild Dishwashing Liquids (Joy, Dove, Dawn, Ivory, Sunlight and Ultra-Excel)
Note that the label must state that it's safe for acrylic - don't just go by this list!
Also note that sometimes manufacturers change their products' formulations, so don't just buy blind. Check the label every single time you buy (yes, this is a pain, but it's an even bigger pain to get a new tub enclosure!) and you won't have to worry.
And, since the tub enclosure is starting out nice and clean, it's best and easiest to keep it that way by giving it a spritz every day.
