6. Clean-Up After Installation

- When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the bath surface.
Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface.
- Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners containing
petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any bath surfaces for long periods of time. Remove plaster by
carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal tools. Use a
powder type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to any residual plaster.
