Cleaning Recommendation for Hansgrohe Products
Modern sanitary tapware, kitchen mixers and showers consist of very different materials to comply with
the needs of the market with regard to design and functionality.
To avoid damage and reclamations, it is necessary to consider certain criteria when cleaning.
Cleaning Materials for Mixers and Showers
Acids are necessary ingredients of cleaning materials for removing lime, however please pay attention to
the following points when cleaning mixers and showers:
• Only use cleaning material which is explicitly provided for this type of application, such as Hansgrohe’s
Decalcifying Agent, which is available through the specialist sanitary trade.
• Never use cleaning materials, which contain hydrochloric, formic or acetic acid, as they cause consi-
derable damage.
• Phosphoric acid is also restricted as it can cause damage.
• Never mix any cleaning material with another.
• Never use cleaning materials or appliances with an abrasive effect, such as unsuitable cleaning pow-
ders, sponge pads or micro fibre cloths.
Cleaning Instructions for Mixers and Showers
Please follow the cleaning material manufacturer’s instructions. In addition pay attention to the following
points:
• Clean the mixers and showers as and when required
• The cleaning dosage and time the cleaner needs to take effect should be adjusted according to the
product and the cleaner should not be left longer than necessary.
• Regular cleaning can prevent calcification.
• When using spray cleaner, spray first into a cloth or sponge never directly onto the sanitary tapware,
as drops could enter openings and gaps and cause damage.
• After cleaning rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaner residue.
Important
Residues of liquid soaps, shampoos and shower foams can also cause damage, so rinse with clean water
after using.
If the surface is already damaged, the effect of cleaning materials will cause further damage.
Components with damaged surfaces must be exchanged, otherwise there could be an injury danger.
Damage caused by improper treatment will not be covered by our guarantee.
