The fashion for acrylic bathtubs came to our country from European countries. And all because these products are really distinguished by excellent quality and reliability. In the process of their production, polymeric materials are used, so the acrylic bath has a long service life. Environmental safety, compliance with hygiene requirements, durability and reliability are the main advantages of this modern sanitary ware, which is highly appreciated by Russian consumers. However, the question immediately arises: how to care and how to wash acrylic baths?
Of course, you should monitor the condition of the bathtub from acrylic, otherwise the period of its operation can be significantly reduced. Before you learn how to wash acrylic baths, you should clearly understand for yourself that these products categorically “do not like” various kinds of abrasive substances and harsh chemicals. It is not recommended to wash "by hand" in an acrylic bath using powder. Acrylic bathtubs are considered quite light in comparison with products with enamel coating, they are quite resistant to mechanical damage. However, acrylic plumbing is easily scratched, therefore, for its cleaning should use products that do not have a particularly strong spectrum of action.
So, how to wash acrylic baths? The basic rule that must be followed when cleaning an acrylic sanitary ware is, as already emphasized, a ban on the use of abrasive components. Of course, they will cope with pollution, but in addition to this they will spoil the surface of the product. By its properties, acrylic has a “dirt-repellent” effect, but, despite this, microcracks will begin to form on it over time, which are very difficult to visually notice.
Naturally, it is impossible to completely eliminate this phenomenon, but there is an option to minimize it. The main thing is not to put basins and other improvised means in the bath, and, of course, you should not bathe your pets in it, which can simply scratch the product. You can also get an answer to the question of how to wash acrylic bathtubs from the manufacturer of these products, since everyone has their own recommendations in this regard.
However, there are generally accepted universal tools. In particular, they include bath detergent, which does not contain ammonia, acetone, alcohol, acids, formaldehyde, since these components are dangerous for acrylic. As an adjuvant, wine vinegar or lemon juice are perfect. They treat a soft cloth or cotton swab and carefully clean the places of contamination. After that, the cleaned areas are washed off with slightly warm water. If the stain still remains, the procedure should be repeated.
Today on the shelves you can see special detergents for acrylic bathtubs. They are quite effective in controlling pollution. The liquid is applied to the stains and left for several minutes so that it is absorbed, and then using a sponge to wipe the stain and wash off the treated surface with water.
If you ensure proper care for the acrylic bath, it will give you a cascade of positive emotions during water procedures and give a charge of vivacity for the whole day!
