Care and Cleaning

For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your KOHLER product:
• Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm water for cleaning. Do not use
abrasive cleaners that may scratch or dull the surface.
• Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is safe for use on the material.
• Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.
• Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.
• Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after cleaner application. Rinse
and dry any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.
• Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring
pad to clean surfaces.

water in the whirlpool after using.
• Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of a low-foaming dishwasher detergent and 20 ounces (590 ml) of
household bleach (5% - 6% sodium hypochlorite) to the water.
• Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off the whirlpool and drain.
• If desired, rinse the bath surfaces with water.
• Rinse the surfaces of the jets, faucet, handrails, drain, etc. and wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
