Cleaning Recommendation for Hansgrohe Products
Modern bathroom faucets, kitchen faucets and shower products are made from different materials to comply with the needs
of the market with regard to design and functionality. To avoid damage to the product, it is necessary to take proper care of
it.
For best results:
• Prevent the buildup of mineral scale and /or soap residue by cleaning your Hansgrohe product(s) when needed.
• Select a cleaning agent specifically intended for the type of product.
• Do not use these types of cleaners as they will cause damage to your Hansgrohe product:
Any cleaning agent containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid, lye, or acetic acid.
Abrasive cleaning powders, pads, or brushes.
Steam cleaners.
"No rinse" cleaning agents.
• Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning agent.
• Do not mix cleaning agents, unless directed by the manufacturer.
• Do not spray cleaners directly onto the product as drops could enter openings and gaps and cause damage. When
using spray cleaners, spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth or sponge.
• Always rinse your Hansgrohe product thoroughly with clear water and polish dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.
Important

the Hansgrohe product.
• Damage to the product caused by improper care or the use of improper cleaning agents is not
covered by the warranty.
