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