CARE AND CLEANING
Like anything of lasting quality, Kohler tapware and fittings require a certain amount of
periodic care to preserve their lustrous finish. Clean your new Kohler tapware and fittings
with a mild soap, rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
The ideal cleaning technique is to always blot dry any water from metal surfaces.
Allowing water to evaporate on metal will form water deposits. It is important to use a
dabbing action to dry metal, not an abrasive or rubbing action.
Never use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia, bleach, acids, or chemicals
that can damage the finish. By taking the time to dry your tapware often, soap and water
deposits can be prevented.
Failure to comply with these cleaning instructions may void Kohler’s warranty obligations.
