Care & 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 cleaner to soak.
  • Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.

Since there are variations within these factors, Kohler cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the formulas.

Acrylic Baths & Whirlpools

  • Wipe out bath/whirlpool after each use with soft cloth or squeegee.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners.
