Common questions about a refinished tub are….Does it need special treatment? Is it going to be durable enough? How long will it last? How do I clean it?
The hi-tech acrylic resins used by Miracle Method are so hard and durable that we have seen jobs that still look great after 15 years or more. Our finishes are strong and bonded onto the original surface with a proprietary bonding agent, called MM4, that has a 30 year track record. It is because of our MM4 that we can offer a meaningful 5 year warranty that guarantees against any delamination of the new finish.
Our finishes do not need special treatment. In fact, our care and cleaning instructions are very similar to the care and cleaning instructions you will find with brand new bathtubs from Kohler or American Standard. These manufacturers recommend non-abrasive liquid cleansers. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or corrosive chemicals like bleach as well as any product with strong acids such as Lime Away or Draino.
Clean Tub
With proper care your Miracle Method Tub should last 15 years or more.
Some cleaners are more effective than others. Miracle Method produces and offers a very effective bath and shower cleaner called Mira-Clean. It is safe for refinished tubs, yet equally effective on non-refinished tubs and showers.
Whichever cleaner you select, spray your tub and let it soak and penetrate the dirtier areas for several minutes. After 3 to 5 minutes, use a soft sponge or a brush designed for Teflon surfaces to scrub the surface, then rinse thoroughly. Products like steel wool, abrasive sponges, and aggressive scotch bright pads will quickly damage most any tub finish…don’t use these!
These simple tips will extend the life of your tub while keeping it free of harmful bacteria, soap scum, and mineral deposits. Call 855-212-7337 to find a Miracle Method professional near you.
I was cleaning my bathroom the other day and noticed how gross my tub has gotten. I think these are great tips for cleaning and hopefully I can get it refinished here this summer. I love a hot bath every now and then.
Thanks Kenneth!
Important ***What drain opener /un-clogger do you recommend for a newly Miracle- refinished tub since Daino-type products cannot be used ? Thank you.
As most plumbers will tell you using caustic chemicals that deteriorate pipes can be dangerous and we don’t recommend them. Since it is in a tub, most of the problem is hair and we recommend snaking the drain. You can start with one of those thin drain snakes found on Amazon for around $5.
