How To Clean & Maintain Your Acrylic Bath System | New York Sash

Keep your acrylic bath system spotless! Learn how to clean and maintain your New York Sash shower or tub for lasting beauty.

In this comprehensive guide from CNY's Open House, Sean, one of New York Sash's expert bathroom foremen, demonstrates the best practices for cleaning and maintaining your acrylic shower and bathtub systems, ensuring they remain in pristine condition for years to come. Acrylic bath systems are designed for easy care due to their non-porous and perfectly smooth surfaces, which naturally resist mold, mildew, and soap scum, eliminating the hassle of grout.

Sean emphasizes the importance of using the right cleaning products to avoid discoloration or dulling of the glossy finish. He advises against cleaners containing ammonia or bleach and strong, harmful chemicals like Drano coming into direct contact with the acrylic. Instead, approved cleaners such as Formula 409, Wet & Forget, and Microban are recommended, along with "no scratch" Scotch-Brite sponges, soft cloths, or a squeegee for wiping down shower walls after use to prevent spots.

The video provides detailed instructions for cleaning both shower and bathtub components. For showers, simply wiping down walls and bases with recommended tools and cleaners is sufficient. For drain maintenance, Sean shows how to easily remove and reinsert the snap-in shower drain cap for cleaning. He also demonstrates the two-part removal process for cleaning the bathtub drain and explains the function of the overflow. Crucially, if a strong drain cleaner like Drano is necessary for clogs, it must be poured directly down the drain using a funnel, and any standing water should be removed first to prevent contact with the acrylic surface.

Learn how to operate your tub's water control handle and diverter for optimal use. By following these simple maintenance steps, your New York Sash acrylic bath system will continue to look beautiful for its lifetime.
