CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ACRYLIC SHELL

The cross-linked cast acrylic surface of all MTI air baths and soaking baths is among the glossiest, highest
quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous surface prevents dirt from accumulating and resists stains bet-
ter than other materials. With normal use, cast acrylic will retain its beauty with only a minimal amount of care.
To maintain the high gloss, elegant look of the cast acrylic surface, follow these simple steps:
Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs (for example: a mild dishwashing deter-
gent such as Ivory Liquid). Follow manufacturer's directions and precautions. Do not use unless the product
label specifically states that it is safe for acrylic. Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Be sure to check
the product label. Some products, although not containing abrasives, WILL damage the acrylic over time.
Never use any type of "scrubbing bubbles" or aerosol spray cleaners on your
acrylic product unless it specifically states that it is safe for use on acrylic!
MTI Sculpted Finish baths are a unique, hand-crafted, custom product. The care & cleaning must be strictly
followed. Never use anything other than mild dish soap diluted in warm water to clean the exterior of the bath.
Harsh chemicals, and/or scouring pads, will deteriorate the finish. Never use abrasive cleansers. If any prod-
uct feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers, do not use on the acrylic surface or controls as perma-
nent damage will occur.
Do not allow your cast acrylic surface to come into contact with nail polish, nail polish remover, Wintergreen
oil, dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, etc.
Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface. Small scratches can be re-
moved by applying a thin coat of automotive polishing liquid and buffing lightly with a clean cloth. For deeper
scratches, sand the surface lightly with a 400 grit "wet or dry" paper and buff with a fine grit buffing compound.
MTI strongly recommends a professional acrylic repair person for deep scratches or chips.
occurring to the unit during installation is the responsibility of the installer and after installation is the
responsibility of the user.
