Forte Single-Function Showerhead Installation Guide

Care and Cleaning (cont.)
•
Wipe Clean - Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with
water immediately after applying cleaners. Rinse and dry any
overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.
Care Tip: 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. Cleaning with a damp sponge
and blot drying should keep your product
looking beautiful.
