The best thing that you can do to keep your new ceramic tile, cultured marble, Corian or fiberglass walls looking new is to wipe them down after the last shower is taken using either a towel, chamois or squeegee.

Clean the shower walls and the bathtub weekly with a product such as Scrub Fee, Clorox Green Works, Comet Liquid Cleaner or other non-abrasive type cleaner.

A White Nylon Pad may be used along with your regular cleaners. Use products such as Tilex only if a mildew problem develops, however, be sure to follow the directions.

Warning - Be careful using the new spray-on daily cleaners. Some of these products may react unfavorably with certain surfaces in the shower. If in doubt about a product call the 800 number that the manufacturer provides on the label.

Gel Gloss Cleaner & Polish can be applied to the above surfaces every 4-6 weeks. Gel Gloss is a non-abrasive cleaner and polish that is applied like automotive wax. Apply directly to the surface or on a cloth, rub in a circular motion, allow to dry to a haze and buff off. This product will provide a protective coating and make cleaning easier. You may also use this product on your faucets and shower enclosure frame.

Spectralock Epoxy Grout: Lucky you! Your grout NEVER need sealed! It is already stain proof.

The Concentrated Neutral Cleaner is for cleaning the ceramic floor tile and grout. This is a concentrated product that you dilute with water according to the instructions.

Whirlpool Care

To thoroughly clean a whirlpools plumbing system,  we recommend using a general cleaning solution of warm water and a mild liquid detergent, such as Tide. Every three months thoroughly clean the circulatory system by first filling the whirlpool with hot water. Once the basin is full, drop in two teaspoons of Tide detergent and one-half cup of household bleach. Run the whirlpool system for two minutes, drain and refill with cold water. Circulate the cold water for five minutes and drain completely.

Now it’s time to shine your whirlpool using a manufacturer-recommended wax. First, however, restore dull areas by rubbing them with white automotive polishing compound. Do not use wire brushes, knifes or sharp objects to remove stains or surface blemishes. They can damage the acrylic surface. Apply a good quality automotive paste wax which will produce a wonderful shine and protective coating.

One final tip, use extreme caution with drain cleaners which can damage a whirlpool’s acrylic surface and circulatory system.
