CLEANING AND CARE OF ACRYLIC BATHWARE Your new shower is molded from a single continuous sheet of colourfast acrylic providing a smooth, thick, strong surface reinforced with fiberglass for years of durable service. The high gloss surface will retain its lasting luster with proper care and maintenance. The protective plastic film applied to the unit will leave a film on the acrylic. Dampen a soft cloth with rubbing alcohol to remove the film. For day to day cleaning, use only liquid or foam cleaners with a soft cloth. Do not use wire brushes, knives or other sharp objects to remove stains or other surface blemishes. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! If the glossy surface loses its sheen, dull areas may be partially restored or light scratches removed, by rubbing with an automotive body polishing compound followed by a light application of liquid or automotive car wax. Do not wax surfaces where you walk or stand. WARNING: Soap and water should only be used for the cleaning of the decorative screened glass. Avoid any cleaning agents labeled with a corrosive warning sign.
