Don’t worry about mold, mildew or leaks with your Wedi shower.

CLEANING + MAINTENANCE
• Do not use cleaning products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids.
• Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that may etch or dull the stone surface.
