Caring for Your Tub
Due to the non-porous surface of the finish, there is no need to use abrasive cleansers on refinished bathtubs. Any household liquid detergent will give excellent results. To remove mineral stains, use a mild acid solution such as a liquid bowl cleaner.
All organic coatings must cure. They start to cure at the time of application and must cure for a total of approximately 30 days.
