Cleaning information
Surfaces
The most common coating of a sanitary fitting is the
chrome-nickel surface finish which should be cleaned
in accordance with DIN EN 248� This would also
apply to materials such as stainless steel and plastic
as well as surfaces which could include powder and
wet paint, anodised aluminium and galvanised steel�
Coloured, non-metallic surfaces are generally
more sensitive than metallic surfaces, especially to
scratches� It is therefore absolutely necessary to de-
termine the type of surface to be cleaned before
starting the cleaning process�
General information on cleaning and care of
sanitary fittings and accessories
In order to meet the market needs in terms of de-
sign and functionality, modern sanitary products
today consist of very different materials and thus
place different demands on the cleaning agents
used and their ingredients�
Cleaning agents and tools
Acids are indispensable as a component of cleaning
agents for the removal of lime deposits�
For sanitary products, however, it is important to
note that:
• Only use cleaning agents intended for the area
of application�
• Do not use cleaners containing hydrochloric
acid, formic acid or acetic acid, as they can
cause considerable damage even after a single
application�
• Only use cleaning agents containing phosphoric
acid in exceptional cases�
• Do not use detergents containing chlorine
bleach�
• The mixing of cleaning agents is generally not
permitted�
• Use of abrasive cleaning agents and equipment,
such as unsuitable scouring agents and pad
sponges, may cause damage�
• Preferably cleaning textiles are used which bind
as few particles as possible� (Knitted towels are
more suitable than woven�)
Tip
Residues of body care products can also cause dam-
age and must be rinsed off immediately after using
the fittings and accessories with clear, cold water
without leaving any residue� Ongoing damage to
surfaces that have already been damaged will pro-
gress as a result of the action of cleaning agents�
Recommendations for cleaning and care
The instructions for use issued by the cleaning
agent manufacturers must be strictly followed�
Generally, it should be noted that:
• Cleaning must be carried out as required�
• The detergent dosage and duration of action
must be adapted to the object-specific require-
ments and the detergent must never be allowed
to work longer than necessary�
• The build-up of calcification must be prevent-
ed by regular cleaning� Water droplets should
therefore be wiped off with a soft cloth or
chamois leather after use�
• Any limescale deposits must be removed by di-
rect application of detergent if necessary�
• In the case of spray cleaning, do not spray the
cleaning solution on the sanitary fittings and
accessories, but on the cleaning textile (cloth/
sponge) and thus the cleaning is to be carried
out, as the spray mist can penetrate into open-
ings and cracks etc� of the fitting and accesso-
ries and cause damage�
• Wash cleaning textiles as often and thoroughly
as possible so that only clean cleaning textiles
without foreign particles are used� Particles de-
posited in cleaning textiles can lead to scratches
and damage to surfaces�
• After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clear wa-
ter to remove any remaining product buildup�
Surface protection
Lacquered and galvanized surfaces should be pro-
tected with a thin protective film on a regular basis�
The use of a preservative specially formulated for
lacquered or galvanised surfaces is recommended�
