Americast Tubs

The use of a rubber mat is acceptable, providing you remove it when your tub is not in use, as certain remains and water trapped under the mat can cause discoloration.

We recommend the following cleaning and care instructions for the slip resistant surface bottom: Use powdered Bon Ami, Spic 'N Spam, didi seven or ZUD for best results on stubborn stains on the surface. Wet tub surface; 2. Sprinkle powdered cleaner onto a wet sponge; 3. Apply to the stain; 4. Rinse with water. 

DO NOT use any type of scouring pad or abrasive cleansers on the surface and bathtub for example 3m cleaning pads, Comet, Brillo.

For general cleaning of your Americast products, we recommend hot soapy water and liquid dishwashing detergents (such as Palmolive, Dawn), Liquid Tide, and Granular Spic and Span. BonAmi and Gel Gloss are excellent cleaner/polishers and can be used liberally and as often as necessary. Please DO NOT use abrasive products (i.e. Brillo, Ajax, Comet, Soft Scrub, scouring pads, etc), as they can etch the surface. Please make sure to apply all cleaning products with a soft cloth or sponge.

The American Standard Stan-Sure is a mixture of porcelain and very hard quartz that provides a safe slip resistant surface. The "Stan-Sure" slip resistant surface is designed to provide a built-in safety feature with-out unsanitary mats and tapes. Because the surface may accumulate soap and body oils, proper care and maintenance is important.

For the removal of stubborn pan/metal marks in your Americast sink, we recommend either Cook Top Cleaning Cream or Pfaltzgraff dish cleaner. Cook Top Cleaning Cream can be found in appliance stores and/or in the appliance section of your local department stores. Pfaltzgraff can be found in stores where the Pfaltzgraff brand of dishes is sold.
