For it, work on every inch of the tub or a shower door, and use a strong cleanser to remove all the soap scums, mildew, or any dirt residues. Go for abrasive cleaners that are followed by a razor blade to remove all the scums easily. Make sure to use a damp towel to remove all the dirt particles, do not apply water.

It\u2019s quite effective to remove the gloss from the surface of the tub, as we need a rough surface for better refinishing. Must follow the instructions written on the package about how to use it. Once done with the incising, wash the entire tub with plenty of water. Well, it must be wet enough, so it\u2019s the right time for sanding. Sand down the surface as we have to further dispose of the gloss coating. The scratches will appear from the sandpaper, which would help in preparing an excellent base.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column lightbox is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Clean the Tub, Once Again!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image4-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image4-2.jpg\" alt=\"Shower tub\" class=\"wp-image-12296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image4-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image4-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image4-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After using the sandpaper, wash the tub one more time. Now attach all the faucets to the tub tightly, like before, and cover them using plastic bags. To cover them firmly use rubber bands, so no water can enter the cover spaces.
