Care tip: Allowing water to evaporate on metal will form water deposits. To avoid this, it is important to use a dabbing action to dry metal, not an abrasive or rubbing action. Cleaning with a damp sponge and buff drying should keep your product looking beautiful.

Toilet Seats:

Avoid using aerosol products.
Do not allow abrasive chemicals and cosmetics (such as fingernail polish and aftershave) to come in contact with the toilet seat, as they can damage the finish.
Painted wood seats require special care and cleaning. Use only mild detergent, such as, dish washing soap.

Care tip: Clean seat with a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water or any of the products listed for toilet seats using a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse clean, dry with a soft towel, and let the seat air-dry to ensure the hinge area dries completely. If you remove the toilet seat, consider the use of a large utility sink to assist in cleaning.

Wipe out bath/whirlpool after each use with a soft cloth or squeegee.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Avoid using aerosol products on the bath surface.
