Buying Guide
Are cast iron bathtubs durable?
A cast iron drop-in bathtub is highly durable and requires less maintenance than bathtubs made from fiberglass or acrylic resin. These heavy-duty pieces retain heat well, making them ideal for long hot soaks.
Cast iron bathtubs are made by pouring molten liquid iron into a mold and letting it cool and harden to create a solid piece of metal. It is coated with enamel, making it resistant to scratches and most cleaning chemicals.
However, they can chip or crack if something heavy and sharp drops on them. Unfortunately, chips can expose the metal underneath, leaving the tub vulnerable to rust and corrosion.
What is the best way to clean a cast iron bathtub?
The best way to clean a cast-iron drop in bathtub is with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid scraping tools and steel wool, as they may irreparably damage the surface of the bathtub.
Conventional bathtub cleaning products may also be too harsh due to their acid content, so read their instructions carefully or avoid them entirely. Cleaning a cast iron bathtub with gentle cleaning supplies may take longer than a typical fiberglass or ceramic bathtub, but the effort is worth it.
If you are going to use a new cleaning product on the tub for the first time, try it out on a small patch in a discrete area to monitor for damage to the tub’s finish.
