Surface: Acrylic
Acrylic tubs and shower surfaces can scratch or dull under methods that are acceptable on porcelain or tile. SurfaceFixLab therefore emphasizes nonabrasive tools, manufacturer-compatible cleaners and short controlled treatments.

Scratch sensitiveFine scratches can appear from pads that feel harmless on tile.
Chemical limitsStrong solvents can haze, craze or soften acrylic.
Easy routine careFrequent mild cleaning is usually safer than occasional aggressive descaling.
