After a long day, nothing is quite as soothing as a soak in the tub. But when your tub feels worn out or outdated, it can take the enjoyment out of what many consider to be a relaxing pastime. That’s why many homeowners choose to upgrade the surfaces of their older amenities with bathtub liners. But to get the most out of your upgrade, it’s crucial to keep up with proper cleaning and maintenance.

Cincinnati Bath Solutions in Ohio has been offering top-notch, affordable bathroom remodeling services for over 24 years. Along with new tub installations and bath restorations, their team can transform a tub in a matter of hours by installing a liner. Below, their experts share their top tips for keeping your vinyl or acrylic tub squeaky clean:

• Choose an Appropriate Cleanser: Read the labels to ensure the product you choose is appropriate for cleaning acrylic or vinyl surfaces. A variety of non-abrasive cream cleansers or gels, dish soaps, and bathroom cleaners are appropriate. 
• Clean Gently: Rather than scrubbing hard, wipe the surface gently with a microfiber cloth, soft sponge, or rag. Don’t use steel wool or abrasive sponges, as they can damage your vinyl or acrylic bathtub liners.
• Disinfect Periodically: To curb bacteria growth, regularly wipe the tub surface with a mixture of water and bleach. If you notice mildew, wipe with a mild solution of water and vinegar.
• Rinse & Dry: Rinse away cleaning products and solutions with water. Finish up by gently drying the bathtub liner with a clean cloth or rag.
• Keep Safety in Mind: When you clean your bathroom, wear rubber gloves to protect your hands. Additionally, open a window if possible and turn on the fan while you clean. Proper ventilation is particularly important because the fumes of the cleaning products can become overwhelming.
