Care and Cleaning
Marble
Marble is a natural stone, thus its color and pattern can vary greatly. Each marble surface
has its own distinct characteristics. This individuality makes each marble fixture a unique
and original addition to your home.
If a marble surface is given the proper care, it will sustain its beauty and durability.
Without regular cleaning, dust particles can settle on marble and can be ground into the
surface and cause damage. Marble should be washed regularly with fresh warm water
and a clean non abrasive cloth. Adding a neutral (pH balanced) cleaner will help remove
dirt and grime.
NOTE: Application of a stone sealer will help make natural stone surfaces less porous
and more resistant to stains (stone sealer will not make the surface stainproof). Spills
should be cleaned up immediately.
Avoid detergents that can be abrasive and contain chemicals high in acid or alkaline.
Petroleum (or oils such as animal fat) can darken natural stone and leave a residue which,
over time, can build up and turn yellow. This buildup is difficult to remove.
Marble should receive the same attention given to fine wood. Coasters should be placed
under all drink containers. Spills should be wiped up immediately. Heated items should
not come in direct contact with the surface. To protect against scratches, a felt bottom or
place mat should be put under all items placed on the marble surface.
Leather
Leather is a natural product, thus its color and pattern can vary. Wear and tear will
enhance the uniqueness and beauty of the surface. Each leather surface has its own distinct
characteristics. This individuality makes each leather surface a unique and original
addition to your home.
If your leather surface is given the proper care, it will sustain its beauty and durability. In
the event of a severe spill, wipe with a dampened cloth immediately. Leather conditioners
can be used to preserve, strengthen, beautify and clean leather. Follow manufacturer's
directions and test in a discreet area before using.
Failure to comply with these cleaning instructions may void Kohler's warranty obligations.
Brass
Like anything of lasting quality, Kohler brass fittings require a certain amount of periodic
care to preserve their lustrous finish. Clean your new Kohler brass fittings with a mild
soap, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Never use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia, bleach, acids, waxes, alcohol,
or solvents for cleaning as they may damage the finish. By taking the time to rinse and dry
your brass fittings often, soap and water deposits can be prevented. Failure to comply with
these cleaning instructions may void Kohler's warranty obligations.
Vitreous China and Fireclay
Clean the outside surface of your vitreous china or fireclay product with mild soap and
warm water. Wipe the entire surface completely dry with a clean, soft cloth.
If the surface of your vitreous china product becomes excessively dirty, you can use a
general purpose cleaner such as: FantastikR, LysolR Foaming Disinfectant, Dow
Bathroom Cleaner Liquid, Scrub FreeR Soap Scum Remover, Soft ScrubR, Spic and Span,
or Mr. CleanR.
