Fiberglass is a glass fiber reinforced plastic that is light, durable, strong, and waterproof, and you’d be surprised at how many items throughout your home are made from this material.

While other surfaces like plastic, tiling, and porcelain are relatively straightforward to clean, fiberglass cleaning requires different techniques, so we put together all the information you need to get this material looking new.
