Gloss Finishes

• Clean with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner.

• A 50:50 vinegar and water solution works well; add a drop of mild dish soap for extra power.

• Safe alternatives include:

  • Method Tub & Tile™

  • Seventh Generation™ All-Purpose Cleaner

  • Simple Green™

• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring powders, which can dull the surface over time.

Satin Finishes

• Refresh best with a light abrasive cleanser such as:

  • Soft Scrub™

  • Bon Ami™

  • Comet™

  • Borax™

• The slight abrasion helps maintain the even, matte appearance.

Stains

• The finish resists most everyday stains, but prolonged exposure to strong chemicals can cause discoloration.

• Avoid bleach, ammonia, nail polish remover (acetone), hair dye, or harsh cleaners.

• If spills occur, rinse immediately with water.

Heat

• Do not expose surfaces to temperatures above 120°F (49°C).

• Prolonged contact with hot water, curling irons, or other heat sources can weaken the surface and may void your warranty.

• Rule of thumb: if water is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for the material.

Scratches

• Durable but not indestructible — sharp objects and rough pads can leave marks.

• Light scratches: buff with a polishing compound or Gel-Gloss®.

• Deeper scratches: gently wet sand with #800 grit, then polish to restore sheen.

Water Use

• To prevent thermal shock (small cracks from rapid expansion), always run hot and cold water together rather than relying on hot water alone.

• Everyday Use: Bar soap creates residue; liquid body wash rinses clean and reduces buildup.

• Mats & Accessories: Avoid leaving suction-cup mats or accessories in place permanently; they can trap moisture and damage the finish.

• Silicone Joints: Wipe joints regularly with a mildew-resistant cleaner to maintain a fresh look.

• Drain Installation: Do not use plumber’s putty and avoid overtightening the drain assembly—both can damage the bowl and void warranty coverage.

• Water Temperature: Extremely hot water can cause hairline cracks near the drain. If water feels too hot to hold your hand under, it’s too hot for the surface.

• The clear coat enhances appearance, seals against moisture, and resists bacteria and mold.

• Excessive scrubbing, deep scratches, or harsh chemicals can compromise this layer.

For best results:

• Apply Gel-Gloss® or a carnauba-based automotive wax once or twice a year to restore brilliance and add protection.

• Move items like soap dispensers, cups, and decorative objects periodically to prevent shadow stains.

• Use mineral deposit cleaners sparingly, only as directed, and never let them sit on the surface.

• Abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh scrubbers

• Chemicals such as bleach, acetone, paint thinner, or oven cleaner

• Cutting directly on the surface

• Direct heat or sudden temperature changes
