Care

Dear Customer,

We want to ensure that you get long-lasting satisfaction and
pleasure from your GROHE fitting. Therefore, please read the
following care instructions because damage to the surface and
underlying material resulting from improper treatment is not
covered by warranty.

Do not use any abrasive sponges or scouring agents for
cleaning. We also advise you not to use cleaning agents
containing solvent or acid, limescale removers, household
vinegar and cleaning agents with acetic acid in them. They are
aggressive to the surface - and will leave your fitting dull and
scratched. As the formulations of commercially available
cleaning agents frequently change, we cannot guarantee they
will provide the gentle care our fitting deserves.

Clean the fitting with a little soap and a moist cloth only, then
simply rinse off and wipe dry. You can avoid lime spots by
drying the fitting each time it is used. If lime deposits do occur,
remove them with GrohClean, our environment-friendly
cleaning liquid. GrohClean is specially formulated to clean the
surface of our fittings gently. GrohClean is available from your
supplier.
