®
• Glass
Plus
®
• Windex Original

Bathroom Cleaner
IMPORTANT! Use water-soluble cleaners (dissolve 100% in water). Cream-base cleaners may
have a tendency to build up, reducing the friction on slip-resistant surfaces.
Express Bathroom Cleaner may be used on the Safeguard surface of you whirlpool. It is not sold
commercially. Call 1-800-470-8337 to order. You may use a soft nylon brush on the Safeguard
surface.
Do not use steel wool, wire brushes or abrasive sponge pads. In the rare occurrence of stubborn
stains, use abrasives or abrasive cleaners sparingly, but not on the Safeguard surface on the
bottom of the whirlpool.
For occasional rust removal you may use Whink
®
Rust and Iron Stain Remove or Muriatic Acid.
Cleaning your User Keypad and Remote Control
Use a soft cloth to wipe the keypad and remote control after each use. If the surface becomes
dirty, use a non-abrasive soap and warm water to clean.
Flushing Your Whirlpool System
Flush your whirlpool system twice a month or more, depending on usage. Use the following
sequence:
1. Turn the jet trim rings fully clockwise to remove air induction.
2. Fill the whirlpool with warm water to a level at least 2” (5 cm) above the highest jets, or
leave water in the whirlpool after using.
3. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of a low-foaming dishwasher detergent and 20 ounces (590 ml) of
household bleach (5%-6% sodium hypochlorite) to the water.
4. Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then turn off the whirlpool and drain the water.
5. If desired, rinse bath surfaces with water.
6. Rinse the surfaces of the jets, faucet, handrails, drain etc. and wipe them dry with a soft
cloth.
