How to use KOHLER bathtub sprayer?

Using a KOHLER bathtub sprayer typically refers to operating a handheld shower head or rinse spray integrated into your bathtub faucet system. However, the term can also apply to using a specific KOHLER cleaning product that comes in a sprayer bottle. Here's a breakdown of how to use both types:

Using a KOHLER Handheld Bathtub Sprayer

A handheld bathtub sprayer, often part of a tub filler or shower system, is primarily used for rinsing, cleaning, or focused showering.

Here are the general steps for using one:

1. Ensure Water Source is On: Make sure the water supply to your tub faucet is active.
2. Select the Sprayer Function: Most systems require you to divert the water flow from the main tub spout to the handheld sprayer. This is usually done by pulling up or pushing down on a small lever or knob located on the faucet body or spout.
3. Set Temperature and Flow: Adjust the hot and cold water handles or single lever to achieve your desired water temperature and flow rate before diverting to the sprayer.
4. Point and Activate: Point the handheld sprayer head where you need the water. The water will now come out of the sprayer instead of the tub spout.
5. Control Water Flow (If Applicable): Some handheld sprayers have a trigger or button on the head to momentarily pause or adjust the flow.
6. Use as Needed:
   • Rinse shampoo or soap off your body.
   • Rinse the tub walls after cleaning.
   • Assist with washing children or pets.
   • Direct water flow precisely where needed.
7. Turn Off and Stow: Once finished, turn off the main water supply using the faucet handles. Return the diverter to its original position to allow water to flow from the tub spout again (this also typically drains water from the sprayer hose). Place the handheld sprayer back in its holder or cradle.

Practical Tips:

• Regularly wipe down the sprayer head and hose to prevent mineral buildup.
• Check for leaks at connection points periodically.

Using KOHLER Tub & Shower Cleaner Sprayer

If you are referring to using a cleaning product that comes in a sprayer bottle from KOHLER, the method is focused on applying the cleaning solution to surfaces.

According to instructions for the KOHLER® Tub & Shower cleaner sprayer:

• Hold the KOHLER® Tub & Shower cleaner sprayer 6'' – 12'' from the surface and spray the area.
• For vertical surfaces, start from the bottom and work upward.
• For unfamiliar surfaces, test in a small, inconspicuous area first.

Additional Steps for Cleaning:

1. Read Product Label: Always follow the specific instructions on the cleaner product's label for dwell time (how long to leave it on the surface), wiping, and rinsing.
2. Ensure Ventilation: Use the cleaner in a well-ventilated area.
3. Wipe and Rinse: After allowing the cleaner to work for the recommended time, use a sponge, cloth, or brush to wipe the surface clean. Thoroughly rinse the area with water, typically using your handheld sprayer or a cup.
4. Dry Surfaces: For best results and to prevent water spots, dry the cleaned surfaces with a clean, dry cloth.

Understanding which type of "sprayer" you are using will ensure you follow the correct procedure for effective use.
