Cleaning Recommendation for Hansgrohe Products

Modern lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets and showers consist of very different materials to comply with the needs of the market with regard to design and functionality.

To avoid damage and returns, it is necessary to consider certain criteria when cleaning.

When cleaning fittings and showers, keep the following in mind:

•Only use cleaning materials intended for this purpose.

•Never use cleaning materials which contain hydrochloric acid, formic acid, chlorine pale lye or acetic acid, as they cause considerable damage.

•Phosphoric acidic cleaners are only conditionally applicable.

•Do not mix cleaning products, unless instructed to do so by the cleaning material manufacturer.

•Never use cleaning materials or appliances with an abrasive effect, such as unsuitable cleaning powders, sponge pads, or micro fiber cloths.

•Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning product.

•Be sure to use the correct amount of cleaner, and leave it in contact with the fitting for the correct amount of time.

•The buildup of limescale and hard water spots should be prevented by regular cleaning.

•When using spray cleaners, spray first onto a soft cloth or sponge; never directly onto the fitting, as drops could enter openings and gaps and cause damage.

•After cleaning, rinse the fitting thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaner residue.

•The use of steam cleaners is not permitted. The high temperatures can damage fittings.

Important

Residues of liquid soaps, shampoos and shower foams can also cause damage, so rinse with clean water after using. Please note: If the surface is already damaged, the effect of cleaning materials will cause further damage.

Components with damaged surfaces must be replaced, otherwise this could cause an injury. Damage caused by improper treatment is not covered by our warranty.
