Care and Cleaning

Swan Corporation products are stain and abrasion
resistant; however, the finish requires reasonable care.

Because cleaning products change over time, always
check the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure it is
compatible with fiberglass reinforced polyester. DO NOT
use a cleaner if the label indicates it should not be used
on fiberglass reinforced polyester. DO NOT use spray-on
cleaners that require daily use without immediately rinsing
with water to stop the chemical cleaning reaction because
damage will result and void the warranty.

Day-To-Day Cleanup

Wash regularly with warm water. Use a soft cloth with a
mild detergent such as Handy Andy, Mr. Clean, Top Job,
Tough Act, Ajax Liquid Cleaner, or Lestoil. Always rinse
off cleaners within five minutes of application.
Scratch-free pads made of nylon, saran, or polyethylene
may be used.

NEVER use abrasive scouring powders, cleansers, or
scouring pads to clean the tub enclosure. They will
scratch and dull the finish. Dry cleaning agents and
solvents will damage the surface. Burning cigarettes will
damage and discolor the finish.

Caulked Joints

Alcove wall panels do not require silicone caulk, but if
caulk was applied, inspect caulked joints monthly for
damage or any signs of separation from the mating
surface. Reapply caulking to any joint showing signs of
wear or cracking. Do not apply silicone caulk into any
water return channel, as shown on page 24.
