WARRANTY

No warranty

 

CLEANING

Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. Clean using liquid soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish. Do not rub or buff.

 

MAINTAINING

Polish by applying Simichrome Polishing paste and then butt out with a clean soft cloth. Protect by applying Flitz Polish or Bruno's Faucet Wax. Do not rub or buff.

 

OUTSIDE USE

ROHL products may be used outside. However, we do not offer a warranty. Use these tips for a successful installation. Polished Chrome is the most durable of ROHL finishes and is the best finish for outside installations. Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. If minerals or salt are accumulating on the fixture, clean by applying a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar, then pat dry. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish. Spray weekly with fresh water, wipe dry and apply Flitz Wax or Bruno's Faucet Wax to avoid hard water spotting. If in freezing temperatures, winterize fixtures by removing cartridges, drain all water or store fixture indoors.
