Care and Cleaning
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your
KOHLER product:
•Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area
before applying to the entire surface. Cleaners containing chloride
are not recommended.
•Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately
after applying cleaner. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on
nearby surfaces.
•Do not allow cleaners to soak on surfaces.
•Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive
material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.
•Be careful not to leave staining materials in contact with the
surface for extended periods of time.
•The ideal cleaning technique is to rinse thoroughly and blot dry
any water from the surface after each use.
