Cleaning Tools and Application Techniques

Microfibre cloths and soft sponges ensure a gentle touch when cleaning resin bathtubs. Always use clean, dedicated cloths to avoid accidental scratches. When applying cleaners or polish, use light circular movements for even results and to preserve the bathtub’s lustre.

Step 1: Remove Loose Debris and Rinse Thoroughly

Begin by thoroughly rinsing the resin bathtub using warm water to dislodge hair, dust, or surface debris. This first step prevents particles from scratching the surface during subsequent cleaning. Move the water across all interior surfaces, paying attention to corners and edges where grime can collect.

Once debris is washed away, lightly wipe with a clean, damp microfibre cloth to ensure no grit remains. Do not use rough sponges or brushes.

Step 2: Apply Gentle Cleaner to Remove Soap Residue

Mix a small amount of natural degreaser with warm water, creating a mild cleaning solution. Soak a microfibre cloth in the solution and gently clean the tub’s entire surface, focusing on areas with soap scum or greasy marks.

If minor oily stains persist, apply Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula directly to the spot, then wipe with a soft cloth. This natural, hypoallergenic degreaser will cut through residues without risking harm to the resin or your skin.

Step 3: Disinfect and Remove Stubborn Stains

For particularly stubborn marks or soap deposits, dampen a cloth with Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% and gently rub the affected area. Thanks to its high purity and quick evaporation, it removes residue efficiently while minimising water marks.

Never pour alcohol directly onto the tub or use near open flames; always use it in a well-ventilated space and store the bottle safely away from heat sources.

Step 4: Restore Gloss and Finish with Polishing

If you notice micro-scratches or general dullness on the resin surface, polishing can restore the original shine. Using a very soft polishing pad or microfibre cloth, apply a small amount of “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System to the area.

Work in small, circular motions, taking care not to use excessive pressure. This will eliminate fine scratches and revive a mirror-gloss finish on your resin bath. Once polishing is complete, wipe away any excess with a clean, dry cloth.

Resin Bathtub Care Tips and Mistakes to Avoid

Always use soft, non-abrasive cloths or sponges. Abrasive tools can cause permanent scratches on the resin surface.

Avoid harsh chemicals, scouring pads, and abrasive powders. These products can erode, discolour, or damage your bathtub’s finish.

Dry the bathtub after each use to prevent water spots. Regular drying helps maintain gloss and prevents mineral deposits from forming.

For long-term maintenance, polish once or twice a year or whenever you notice the shine starting to fade. Address spills or soap residue promptly for an effortlessly beautiful finish.

Protect your investment by adopting simple daily habits, such as wiping down the tub after each use and fixing small stains as soon as they appear. Polishing periodically will keep the resin surface bright and inviting for years to come.
