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.
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.
The ideal cleaning technique is to rinse thoroughly and wipe the product dry after each use.
