Cleaning
Before Cleaning
Guideline
In this section, GROHE offers some general guidelines as to the cleaning of this product. Please note that there are some cleaning products which should not be used.
As a general rule, GROHE recommends the use of liquid, all-purpose cleansers for this product.
Cleaning tools
Soft cloth
- For toilet seat, lid covers, toilet
Sponge: Use a soft foam sponge.
Toilet brush (non-abrasive)
Rubber gloves: Use to prevent rough skin forming on hands.
- Fold up the edges of gloves to prevent water and cleanser entering.
Cleanser
Non-abrasive and neutral toilet cleanser: Removes yellowish and/or blackish contamination from the toilet bowl.
NOTE:
- AQUA CERAMIC is a material that has a high hydrophilic nature and contaminations attached to the toilet bowl tend to be easily removed. However, cleaning is still necessary. If contaminations remain on the pottery surface or feces are fatty, it may not be easy to remove them. Clean the toilet on a periodic basis. To fully utilize the effect of AQUA CERAMIC, do not use the following cleaners and tools.
- Strong alkali/acidic cleansers
- Abrasive cleansers
- Water-shedding or antifouling cleansers, or surface coating agent
- Cleaning tools that damage the material surface, such as metallic or abrasive brushes
![]()
- Set the [AUTO FLUSH] and [AUTO OPEN/CLOSE] to [OFF] when cleaning the toilet to avoid misdetection.
Toilet Seat, Lid, Covers and Remote Control (Plastic Parts)
Dampen a soft cloth and wipe the surfaces.
![]()
GROHE recommends cleaning the toilet frequently to prevent dirt buildup on the toilet surfaces.
Wiping with a damp cloth also prevents static electricity that can attract dust particles which cause blackish contamination.
NOTE:
- Do not use a dry cloth or toilet paper to wipe the surfaces, as this could result in scratches.
- Turn off the power of the toilet when cleaning the remote control to avoid misdetection.
Removing the Lid for Cleaning
