CLEANING
GENERAL - For frame work and fittings use only warm soapy water
and damp cloth/ sponge on a regular basis. After cleaning please
rinse with clean water to remove any residue.
Do not use abrasive scouring powders, chemicals or aerosol
cleaners - these may result in damage to the surfaces, in
particular, the plated component parts
See instruction below for glass cleaning advice.

LIFESHIELD
Your Kudos Product is pre-treated with Lifeshield on the inside
glass surfaces only. While this makes cleaning the glass a lot
easier and helps prevent the build up of harmful lime-scale and
soap deposits the glass still needs to be maintained on a regular
basis. We recommend the use of a detergent and aroma free glass
cleaner (A 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water works well)
Strong detergents and abrasives can damage the coating.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrubbing equipment
for cleaning!!
DO use a squeegee to remove remaining droplets of water from
glass after showering, any build up of residue can be removed
easily using an appropriate cleaner and agitation from soft
cleaning equipment
