Acrylic bathtubs are a popular choice for bathtubs, but let's take a look at their lifespan. How many years can an acrylic bathtub last?
Generally
speaking, a typical acrylic bathtub lasts about 10 years. However, the actual lifespan depends on how it is used and maintained in the home. Acrylic is a highly malleable and durable material. It also has a self-healing function, and its smooth surface makes it easy to clean.
II. How to maintain an acrylic bathtub?
1. Weekly Cleaning:
To maintain good health, weekly cleaning of your acrylic bathtub is essential. When cleaning, use a sponge or soft cloth; avoid using rough fabrics as they can easily damage the acrylic. You can also use a mild, specialized cleaning agent. After each use, remember to rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
2. Gently treat surface stains:
For stubborn stains, use a soft-bristled toothbrush with toothpaste to scrub them; this will remove the stains and eliminate mold. As for limescale, regular toilet cleaner is also effective. However, if you dislike the pungent smell, you can use a mixture of lemon and white vinegar to clean acrylic bathtubs.
3. Repair scratches promptly.
During normal use, never use hard or sharp objects to hit the surface of the acrylic bathtub to avoid dents or scratches. However, if you accidentally damage it, don't panic. You can use a clean cloth mixed with a colorless self-polishing solution to wipe it, and then apply a layer of colorless protective wax.
