Care and Cleaning
Lavastone Countertops
•
Your lavastone countertop consists of a natural material more
porous than granite or marble. A stone sealer has been applied to
this surface to aid in its stain resistance.
•
Use cleaners and detergents with a soft cloth or a soft brush to
clean the surface.
•
Do not use steel wool, course scouring pads, or sandpaper as
they will dull the surface.
•
Clean up spills immediately.
•
In the event of a stain, use acetone to aid in its removal.
Immediately follow with an application of stone sealant.
•
This product requires annual applications of a stone sealer.
Contact a marble or stone specialty shop or Kohler Company for
recommended sealers.
Brass
•
Like anything of lasting quality, Kohler brass fittings require a
certain amount of periodic care to preserve their lustrous finish.
Clean your new Kohler brass fittings with a mild soap, rinse
thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean, soft cloth. The
ideal cleaning technique is to always blot dry any water from
metal surfaces. Allowing water to evaporate on metal will form
water deposits. It is important to use a dabbing action to dry
metal, not an abrasive or rubbing action.
•
Never use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia,
bleach, acids, or chemicals that can damage the finish. By taking
the time to dry your fittings often, soap and water deposits can
be prevented.
