Care and Cleaning

Swan products are stain and wear 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 plastic. DO NOT use a cleaner if the
label indicates it should not be used on plastics. 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

Simply wipe the surfaces with a clean towel to remove
watermarks and residues. Swan Corporation ADA
Barrier-Free Shower Floors can be cleaned with warm
water, a soft cloth, and normal (nonabrasive) household
detergents or cleansers, such as Fantastic, Formula
409, Clorox Clean-up, Handy Andy, Mr. Clean, or Lestoil.
Always rinse off cleaners within five minutes of
application.

If necessary, use a nonabrasive cleaner with a nylon
brush or pad to remove build-up on the shower floor
surface. Do Not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool, or
a wire brush. This will damage the surface.

Caulking Joints

If silicone caulking was applied after installation of the
wall panels or tile, inspect the caulking joints monthly for
damage or any signs of separation from the mating
surface. Cracks in the caulking will allow water to leak
into the surrounding surfaces. Reapply caulking to
any joint showing signs of wear or cracking.
Failure
to inspect and repair caulking joints will void the
warranty.
