Fiberglass BEST-BATH units

Cleaning Tips

Q. How do I remove the adhesive stickiness from the labels that are attached to my new shower unit?

A. You may use acetone, WD40, nail polish remover, mineral spirits, on a soft cloth or cotton ball these difficult stains, then follow up by cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner.

Q. What cleaners do you recommend I use to clean my Best Bath unit?

A. Any non-abrasive liquid cleaner off the shelf may be used. Be sure to read the label and follow the cleanser's recommendations. Do not use harsh abrasives like Comet, Ajax, Bon Ami, etc. as they will harm and dull the finish of your unit.

Q. The anti-skid floor is not coming clean with my standard liquid cleanser. What do you recommend I use?

A. For stubborn floor stains, a paste should be made of a cleanser such as Comet, Spic-N-Span, etc., and spread out onto the floor. Allow the paste to sit for 5-10 minutes and then gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush. The brush should be the texture of a toothbrush and vigorous scrubbing is not recommended as it could damage the finish on your floor. Rinse off all remaining paste.

Q. What do you recommend using to remove hard water stains, calcium deposits, lime scale or difficult soap scum from my unit?

A. Simple automotive paste wax applied twice a year provides the best results not only for cleaning your new shower but preventing and buildup as well. Follow the product manufacturer’s directions including the use of a mechanical buffer. This is the same product as preferred by expensive fiberglass car owners. Do not use wax on any shower floor for safety reasons.

Q. How do I wash my Best Bath shower curtain?

A. Any soils and stains that accumulate on the fabric’s surface should be removed periodically for a fresh new appearance. Use neutral soapsuds and lukewarm water. Then rinse with water and allow fabric to dry. Hard to clean spots: Standard household/vinyl cleansers and /or a soft bristle brush can be used for removing troublesome spots or stains. Heavy "dried on" soil may first require soaking to loosen. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANSERS OR SOLVENTS.

Best Bath does not recommend the laundering of the curtain fabric since laundering may substantially decrease the useful life of the fabric. However, if laundering is required, follow the procedures of the International Fabric Care Institute:

1. Wash and rinse according to the "Synthetic Washing Procedure for Coated Fabrics" with temperatures not exceeding 100° F.
2. Extract water with centrifugal extractor.
3. Tumble dry in a steam dryer (not gas) at 120° F maximum. For tailored, precise fitted items, tumble dry without heat or air dry. DO NOT IRON.
