Maintenance and Cleaning
To maintain the pristine appearance and functionality of your GROHE tub filler, follow these cleaning and maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the Starlight Chrome finish with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome fixtures.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the finish.
- SilkMove Cartridge: The GROHE SilkMove cartridge ensures smooth and precise operation of the lever. No special maintenance is typically required for the cartridge itself.
- Hand Shower Nozzles: Periodically clean the nozzles of the hand shower to remove any mineral buildup. Many GROHE hand showers feature flexible silicone nozzles that can be easily wiped clean.
