Many cleaners contain abrasive and chemical substances, and should not be used for cleaning stainless steel, enamel, plated or plastic fittings. These finishes should be cleaned using a mild washing up detergent or soap solution, rinsed and then wiped dry with a soft clean cloth. 11
Like anything of lasting quality, Kohler tapware and fittings require a certain amount of periodic care to preserve their lustrous finish. Clean your new Kohler tapware and fittings with a mild soap, rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean, soft cloth. The ideal cleaning technique is to always blot dry any water from metal surfaces. Allowing water to evaporate on metal will form water deposits. It is important to use a dabbing action to dry metal, not an abrasive or rubbing action. Never use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia, bleach, acids, or chemicals that can damage the finish. By taking the time to dry your tapware often, soap and water deposits can be prevented. Failure to comply with these cleaning instructions may void Kohler s warranty obligations.
