Maintenance
Cleaning the Ceramic Surfaces
- Regularly clean the ceramic toilet pan with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
- The DirectFlush rimless design facilitates easier cleaning, as there are no hidden areas for dirt and bacteria to accumulate.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or cleaners containing chlorine or formic acid, as these can damage the ceramic surface.
