The Do’s and Don’ts of Cleaning a Refinished Bathtub

As the proud new owner of a refinished bathtub, you may be wondering how to clean your shiny new fixture.

Experience has taught us the best way to clean a refinished surface is with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser on a regular basis.

How to Clean a Refinished Bathtub

Nothing beats the sparkle of a freshly cleaned tub, but for owners of older tubs, achieving this kind of clean may be impossible. Over time, the glazing in the tub scratches and erodes, creating a dull, dingy look. At Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing, we offer a quick, affordable solution for damaged tubs and showers: bathtub refinishing.  The primary question we get about bathtub refinishing is two-fold: how long will it last, and how do I clean it?

What are VOC’s and Why You Should Be Aware

At Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing, we pride ourselves in our ability to refinish household surfaces and get them looking like new again.
