how to clean vitreous china & fireclay surfaces

Toilets, Lavatories, Kitchen Sinks

  • Soft abrasive cleaners may be used to clean Kohler ® vitreous china products. Strong abrasive cleaners will scratch & dull the surface.

  • Use a soft cloth to wipe the product dry after each use.

 

Toilets

  • Use toilet bowl cleaners on the inside of the bowl only.

  • Avoid in-tank cleaners as they can damage the flush valve or other working parts.

  • Wipe any splashes of cleaner solutions from plastic or plated surfaces immediately.

Over time, hard water deposits may clog toilet rim holes & trapways. To handle this problem, purchase a commercial cleaner that's recommended for the removal of hard water deposits. Follow all instructions on the package.

Keep the following in mind when caring for your plumbing products

  • Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.

  • Rinse completely.

  • Wipe surfaces clean immediately after applying cleaner. Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak.

  • Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Do not use an abrasive material to wipe surfaces clean.
