I have read all the reviews but noone specifies if it is safe and will not scratch an acrylic tubs? Thanks for help!

I have an acrylic. Whirlpool and it's a little deeper than an regular tub. The telescope was part of my attraction to this product. The bristles are fine and they've never scratched my tub. I only wish they were softer but that's just me wanting it perfect because the cleaning products do most of the work anyway. . I've had a few others that were like sponges on a stick, they cleaned great but fell apart. If the quality had been better I'd prefer the sponges. However this is well made so I give it a thumbs up.

We don't have an acrylic tub, but my wife is pleased with the product and its cleaning capabilities.

I'm using mine to clean and aluminum patio but I wouldn't use it on and acrylic finish, I think the brush bristles are a little to stiff for that purpose. On tile or Marble it would to O.K. but not on what you want to use it for. I would just use a cloth and a bottle of soft scrub, it's like A-Jax only much more mild and won't scratch the finish on the acrylic tub.

Joyce it would be worth a try. I have used it for all sorts of things. It does not scratch. Kathleen

this is laminated wood, the legs have no metal tips so no i wouldn't think it will scratch the tub but might leave some wood marring that cleanser would remove. this chair does pick up soap scum badly.

I use it in my plastic 1 gallon and noting has melted yet. I don't know about acrylic though. I think it would be fine, it doesn't get too hot to touch..

I Don't know either. This really doesn't eliminate scratches, it's seems safe to use as soft polisher. I agree with the other comment.

It's not acrylic. It's Makrolon. A poly-carbonate. Much stronger than acrylic.

It holds the heat as well as any tub I've ever had. One reason is that it has such a deep soak and hold lots of water, but isn't as wide as the big soaker tubs, so less surface water to cool down and once it is hot is can hold the heat where acrylic cannot. Best practice is to take a bucket and rinse once with very hot water in advance of filling and that will temper the tub to a warmer temp so that new bath water won't be immediately cooled. Incidently, I have two of these tubs, one for sale in the Denver area with right hand drain.

I use plastic tube and & metal hangers and neither appear to be causing any scratching let alone chipping. We have the white coated version of the closet rods. Highly recommend these closet rods:)

The warning label inside says" "To avoid possible damage, test tub/shower surface in an inconspicuous spot. Some fiberglass, other plastic or refinished surfaces may also be affected." Our tub liner is plastic and this stuff didn't hurt it a bit, but fiberglass ... I'd be sure to test it first.

lIZARD is right...good hot water to loosen the glue and then scrape, just not hard enough to add scratches. The Pam idea will work, but a better process is WD-40 or Goo-Gone. The Goo-gone works great for this, just be sure to wash the covers real well before using.

I have a small acrylic tank as well and I've left the heater on overnight and for several days and it didn't affect the tank. The only thing you have to watch is it does cause the water to evaporate faster.

It will scratch anything that is softer than the plastic that its made of. For example, I don't have paint on the corner of the wall where mine is setup. I suggest adding some rubber or felt feet to keep it from scratching things up. Just make sure what ever you add is large enough to not be swallowed in case it comes off.

Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great. I would try it , with taking care on tightening clamp and watch how is seems to be adjusting , watching both tub side and grab bar. I found after initial tightening to go back a tighten once again. I found it very safe, very handy, Think it might also depend on just how much weight you would be pulling against it from sitting position. If you just are going to use it to stabilize yourself getting into and out of the tub, should work for you. Very satisfied with mine. Just always use caution in and out of the tub with any product. Always check on clamp is tight. Try it! Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great.

Hello. I have a smooth surface tub. However, I think that as long as the tub is clean and dry it should adhere just fine. After securing the mat to the tub, I covered the mat with heavy objects for a couple of days before using.

I used it on my acrylic shower pan and it covered well and holds up fine, so far at least. That was about a year ago.Do make sure everything is very clean, as recommended in the instructions.

Not sure I can tell you I used it on my bathtub and had no issues. I also used it on my dishware but it tarnished my dishware and ruined it had to buy new dishware so I would be careful!
