How to Clean a Fiberglass Bathtub Surround

Knowing how to clean a fiberglass bathtub surround can be tricky, because it is easy to produce scratches in the process. However, learning the right way to clean a tub or shower made from this stylish and resilient material is easy. The right instructions will produce a grime-free and beautiful finish.

1. Create steam. Turn on the hot water in the fiberglass bathtub surround to create condensation on the walls. This will help to wet the area and loosen dirt, for easier cleaning.

2. Put on detergent. Use a soft sponge with a non-abrasive cleaner and apply to the fiberglass. Let the cleaner stay on the bathtub surround for two to three minutes.

3. Remove cleanser. Take off the cleaner by using a soft cloth and water. Do a water rinse to remove any leftover cleaner.

4. Dry the area. Use a soft towel to dry the entire fiberglass surround. Switch towels, if needed.

5. Wax the area. Apply a fiberglass wax to the sides of the bathtub surround to prevent dirt from sticking. Use a sponge or towel, making sure not to use it on the floor.
