Product Maintenance

To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls, wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either soft cloth or squeegee to prevent soap buildup. Never use abrasive cleaners and cleaning products that contain scouring agents as this may scratch the surface. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges.

To ensure a long lasting hardware finish, wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent finish peeling or corrosion. After cleaning the shiny finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish, work with (not against) the grain. Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brushes.
