Mode d'emploi

Entretien et soins

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your KOHLER Mariposa bathtub.

Nettoyage de la surface acrylique :

  • Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild, non-abrasive cleaners specifically designed for acrylic surfaces.
  • Avoid using abrasive powders, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners (e.g., acetone, paint thinner, strong acids/bases) as these can damage the finish.
  • Rincer abondamment à l'eau claire après le nettoyage.
  • For stubborn stains, consult Kohler's official cleaning recommendations.

Prévention des dommages :

  • Do not drop heavy or sharp objects into the tub.
  • Évitez de placer des objets chauds directement sur la surface acrylique.
