Input: [Surface] Acrylic (plastic) [Likely Fitting] Bathtubs, sinks (especially in cloakrooms [half-baths]), shower trays (floors) [Cleaning Tips] Avoid abrasive cleaners because acrylic scratches easily. Instead, use a liquid cleaner or a mild cream cleaner if it specifically says that it is safe for acrylic. Keep on top of the cleaning: It’s especially easy to get a build-up of soap on acrylic. Be careful not to drop sharp items – the acrylic may be very thin. A sharp or hard object (a razor or a metal can of hairspray, for example) may crack the bath, meaning you have to get a replacement. [Characteristics]

Output: Lightweight, keeps room temperature. Practically all budget and DIY-store baths are acrylic.
