Care and Cleaning Instructions

CLEANING THE ACRYLIC SHELL
The cross-linked cast acrylic surface is among the highest quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous
surface prevents dirt from accumulating and resists stains better than other materials. With normal use, cast
acrylic will retain its beauty with only a minimal amount of care. To maintain the elegant look of the cast
acrylic surface, follow these simple steps:
1. Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
2. Apply common household, non-abrasive cleaner in accorance with manufacturer's directions and
precautions. (i.e., a mild dishwashing detergent such as Ivory Liquid). Do not use unless the product label
specifically states that it is safe for acrylic.
3. Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Scouring pads will deteriorate the finish.
NOTICE: be sure to check cleaning and bathing product labels. 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!
• Harsh chemicals, such as bleach and ammonia, will deteriorate the finish.
• Never use abrasive cleansers. If any product feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers, do
not use on the acrylic surface or controls as permanent 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.
• Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface.
SURFACE REPAIR
Small scratches can be removed 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. Damage occurring to the unit during installation is the responsibility
of the installer, and after installation, the responsibility of the user. MTI strongly recommends a
professional acrylic repair person for deep scratches, chips or gouges.
SCULPTED FINISH ACRYLIC TUB SHELL
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

gouges on the exterior of an Sculpted Finish freestanding tub.
