Cleaning Instructions for Faucets and Showers

Please follow the cleaning material manufacturer’s instructions. In addition, pay attention to the following points:

•Clean the faucets and showers as and when required

•Use the amount of cleaning product and the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer. Do not leave the cleaner on the fixture longer than necessary.

•Regular cleaning can prevent calcification.
