Resin is a beautiful, durable substance used to make plumbing products such as sinks, toilets, and bathtubs, as a modern alternative to acrylic and cast iron.
A type of composite that is made up of finely ground stones, minerals, and acrylic, this solid, heavy material is then fused together to create a smooth, stone-like surface. Due to its makeup, resin is extremely low maintenance, with scratch removal being relatively simple. Follow these quick, easy steps to keep your tub, sink, and toilet looking new.
What Can I Use to Clean Resin?
Resin has a nonporous surface that makes it resistant to stains and discoloration. To maintain the condition of your resin product, simply wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth after each use. Most dirt and dust will wash off with warm water. For a more thorough cleaning, use a mild cleaner such as a gentle dish soap. Avoid any products that contain abrasives, acids, or ammonia.
Scratch Removal
Resin is an unfinished material, meaning that the appearance is the same on the surface as it is under the surface. Because of this, scratch removal is uncomplicated. Most scratches can be sanded right out rather quickly using a variety of fine-grit sandpaper.
