ACRYLIC TUB WITH INTEGRAL DRAIN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Wash your tub using a gentle soap, such as dish washing liquid, and warm water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning pads or materials. We recommend the use of a soft sponge or micro�ber washcloth. Vinegar can be used to remove hard water buildup and mildew. Rinse with warm water and dry with a clean, soft cloth. To maintain the glossy tub �nish, we recommend bu�ng your tub every three months with white polishing compound.
