GENERAL CARE & CLEANING
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your STERLING® product:
Test First
Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.
Wipe Clean
Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after applying cleaner. Rinse and dry and overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.
Don’t Let Cleaners Soak
Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak.
Avoid Abrasive Materials
Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such
as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.
VIKRELL
STERLING baths, showers and whirlpools are constructed from solid Vikrell material for superior strength and durability. Color-molded throughout, bath and shower products made of Vikrell also feature a smooth, seamless appearance and are easy for one person to transport and install.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR BATHS, SHOWERS & WHIRLPOOLS MADE OF VIKRELL
- Do not use abrasive cleansers or acidic solvents on Vikrell surfaces as they may cause surface dullness or discoloration.
- Wipe your bath or shower unit with a soft cloth after each use to prevent a build-up of soap and scum.
- Extreme heat such as that generated by cigarettes or portable heaters can damage Vikrell surfaces. Do not use such items near your bath or shower unit.

HOW TO FLUSH YOUR WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM
Flush your whirlpool system twice a month or more, depending upon usage.
- Adjust the jets fully clockwise so there is no air induction.
- Fill the bath with warm water to a level 2" above the highest jets, or leave water in the bath after using.
- Add two teaspoons of a low-foaming, powder automatic dishwasher detergent and 20 ounces of household bleach (5% to 6% sodium hypochlorite) to the water.
- Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then shut off the whirlpool and drain the water.
- If desired, rinse the bath surfaces with water.
- Clean bath surfaces as needed with recommended cleaners.
