Coidados e Mantemento
To maintain the finish and performance of your KOHLER faucet trim, follow these guidelines:
- Limpeza: Clean the faucet trim with a soft, damp pano. Evite produtos de limpeza abrasivos, produtos químicos agresivos ou estropaxos, xa que poden danar o acabado.
- Eliminación de manchas: Para manchas difíciles, use unha solución suave de auga e xabón, despois enxágüe ben e seque cun pano suave.
