How you clean bathtubs depends on what they're made of. Enameled steel or cast iron tubs are very durable and resistant to most cleaning products.

Be careful of harsh powdered cleansers and colored nylon scrub pads, though, and don't use heavy pressure with even a mild cleanser, or it will eventually dull the surface.

Once you are in the bathroom and the tracks are secured, lock the wheels and disable the swivel feature on the seat. Then depress the slide release button and push yourself in the seat, down the track. Lift your legs into the bathtub.
