Encore Surfacing Shares 3 Tips to Clean Porcelain Tile or Tubs
You’ve tried everything you know of to get that black mark off the porcelain tile or tub. Comet, bleach, tile cleaner . . . and nothing can take it off. Here are three things you can try.
- It could be from caulk that is stuck on. Take a razor blade or very sharp knife and lightly scrape it off.
- Lightly sand or scrub the mark using a green cleaning pad that is dry or 220 grit sandpaper. The black mark should vanish.
- If all else fails, try Greased Lightning as a cleaner. It works really well on dirt and soap scum also. I recommend using Greased Lightning to all my clients!
If you are still having problems removing that black mark, call Stuart for more tips at 404-401-4667.
Encore Surfacing will be in Dunwoody’s July 4th Parade
American Flag Painted on Clawfoot Tub
Dunwoody’s July 4th parade is coming up soon and the tub is ready for display. It is a 4 ½ foot clawfoot tub with the American Flag carefully painted on both sides! She will ride in the back of the truck with one thousand pencils to be given to the kids and adults.
Resurfacing Process: The resurfacing process was standard for a clawfoot tub. First the exterior was carefully ground and sand blasted to remove the old finish. Casting roughness was repaired and a primer applied. Three coats of white were applied and allowed to cure, the tub was turned right side up, cleaned and repaired, and then three more coats of white were applied to the inside.
Next we got off the beaten track and applied 50 self sticking stars to each side of the clawfoot tub. They were sprayed blue and then removed leaving white stars for the flag. The stripes were laid out and painted red and finally three clear coats were applied.
