FacebookHow to clean a resin shower tray after installation?
Keep your resin shower tray spotless and damage-free with these steps
Installing a resin shower tray is a step towards a stylish and durable bathroom, but correct cleaning after installation is crucial. Taking care in these first cleans will help maintain a smooth, glossy look and extend the life of your investment. This guide explains how to safely clean a resin shower tray post-installation, so you’ll avoid unwanted scratches, stains, or surface dullness.
What You’ll Need
- Coloured Microfibre Cloths – Pack of 10 Multi-Coloured Cleaning Cloths: Lint-free and soft, ideal for gentle wiping and polishing.
- Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula: For safely removing grease and silicone residues.
- Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY: Excellent for lifting marks and residues.
- “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System: For occasional restorative polishing if scratches or dull areas appear.
Essential Tools for Resin Surface Cleaning
Choose microfibre cloths for maximum gentleness and to reduce the risk of scratching. Dedicated resin-safe degreasers or isopropyl alcohol work best for removing installation residues. Avoid harsh chemical cleansers or scouring pads.
Step 1: Remove Loose Dust and Debris
Begin by sweeping away any installation dust, debris, or packaging leftovers from the tray’s surface. Use a dry, soft microfibre cloth and lightly wipe in straight lines rather than circles. This minimises the risk of micro-scratches, giving you a pristine base for deeper cleaning. Do not use brushes or rough sponges, as these can damage the resin finish from the very first clean.
Step 2: Gently Wash the Surface
Wet a clean microfibre cloth with warm (not hot) water and gently wipe the shower tray, starting from the side farthest from the drain. If residues like silicone or handling grease persist, apply a small amount of Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula to your dampened cloth and wipe affected areas, following the cleaner’s instructions. Rinse the surface immediately with another clean, damp microfibre to avoid leaving any product traces.
Step 3: Remove Streaks or Stubborn Marks
For streaks, water spots, or slightly stubborn residues left after the first clean, dab a little Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% onto a soft cloth and gently wipe the specific area. Isopropyl evaporates quickly and leaves no residue, making it safe for resin surfaces when used sparingly. Never pour alcohol directly onto the tray—always use a dampened cloth for targeted application, and allow the surface to air dry.
Step 4: Restore Shine and Remove Minor Surface Marks
If your resin tray has become slightly dull or picked up fine marks during installation, use the “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System as directed. Apply a small amount of polish onto a clean microfibre cloth or pad and buff the surface in gentle, overlapping motions. Avoid aggressive polishing, which can thin the protective topcoat. Polishing should be occasional, not part of every clean.
Tips to Keep Your Resin Shower Tray Looking New
Always use a soft, lint-free cloth for all cleaning stages to avoid scratching. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaning agents that can etch or cloud the resin. Work gently and never scour, especially during first cleans. Regular maintenance prevents staining—a quick wipe-down after each use can reduce limescale and grime build-up. For daily care, water and microfibre usually suffice, reserving dedicated cleaners for occasional deeper cleans.
Long-Term Resin Shower Tray Care
Maintain shine by wiping down after each use, and spot-cleaning any water marks right away. For maintaining gloss, polish only as required using Epoxy Polish, ensuring your tray always looks newly installed.
