Caring for the steam bath/shower cabin

After showering/steaming, rinse the tray and wall element surface with water and wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not
use scouring agents! For occasional thorough cleaning, use a few drops of cleaning agent, e.g. Hoesch Cleaner (item
no. 699900), on the surface and rub with a soft, dry cloth. Remove heavier soiling using warm water and liquid cleaning
agent or a soap lye. Wipe away scale deposits using vinegar and water (avoid contact with the fittings!). Observe the
manufacturer's instructions if using drain cleaners!
Remove slight scratches or rough areas in glossy surfaces with the Hoesch Sanicryl care set (item no. 699100, follow
instructions!). Remove deep scratch marks or burns on glossy or matt surfaces using fi ne sandpaper (no. 800-1500)
or a fi ne steel wool metal eraser by rubbing carefully in one direction in a large area around the scratch. Treat glossy
surfaces only with special polishing cream.
03.01 Caring for the glass panes and profi les
■ After showering, quickly rinse the partition with clean water.
■ Use only a damp rag (never dry) to wipe down the panels and frame. You can also use a squeegee to dry
the panels.
■ Only use gentle cleaners such as a weak vinegar and water solution. Never use cleansing powder or cleaners
containing chlorine.
■ Do not use microfi ber cloths. They destroy any coatings and may cause the glass to become scratched.

fi ttings only. Follow the instructions for the cleaning agent!
Spray cleaning agent onto a cloth and use it to clean the fi ttings.
Rinse the fi tting with plenty of water and polish with a soft cloth.
