how to clean special surfaces

Decorative Products, Shower Doors, Glass Bowls, Vanity Tops & Tabletops

Do not use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges. They will scratch decorated surfaces.
Never use abrasive cleaners.
Gold used on decorative products is like fine jewelry. Use only warm water to clean. Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not let cleaners sit & soak on surfaces.
Use a shower squeegee to clean the glass doors after showering.
Rinse & wipe fixtures after cleaning to prevent soap buildup.
On delicate surfaces use plenty of water, rub gently, rinse.

Wood Furniture

Protect wood furniture from direct sunlight, radiators or other drying heat sources.
Clean up spills immediately on wood furniture w/ a clean cloth. Always rub in the direction of the wood grain.

Advice by

Friendly Plumber ®

• To avoid lime buildup in hard water areas, make a point to wipe the product dry after each use, just as you would towel dry your hands with a soft cloth. To prevent scratching while cleaning, save old T-shirts or flannel nightgowns for great cleaning cloths.

Decorative Finishes

Treat your decorative Kohler® Artist Edition pieces just as you would treat your fine china.

Glass

Kohler® shower doors are made of thick, safety tempered glass & are easy to care for.

Spun Glass

A composite of stone chips, stone dust & resin, Kohler® blended stone is designed to be stain & scratch resistant for a virtually maintenance free beauty that lasts.

Wood Surfaces

All Kohler® marble is natural stone & each top will have its own natural, unique beauty.
