how to clean Kohler slip-resistant surface
Comments (19)I have a 25 yr old Kohler cast iron tub. I got used to the non-skids looking a very light gray, despite my efforts. So I just ordered on Amazon an extra large “Gorilla Grip” clear bath mat with multiple suction cups on the bottom to cover it up, haha (and actually having this mat made my 70 yr old self feel more secure). Currently, we are in the midst of a bathroom remodel and the remodeler suggested replacing the tub with another! Wha?! It’s a second floor bathroom and that tub was uber-heavy to carry up for the first remodel and I didn’t want to replace a “perfectly good” cast iron with acrylic or fiberglass. The tub was pristine other than being outdated, lol (though I swear I saw the same design at a local Kohler store when looking at other fixtures). He knew I was trying to save money so I figured his main concern were the non-slip strips, LMAO! So before the remodeling began, I tried Dawn Platinum PowerWash. Sprayed it on the non-skid area and walked away for a half hr? Came back and scrubbed just a bit with an off-brand magic eraser. 85-75% improvement. Once the remodeling is done, I’m going to try hydrogen peroxide like Jane Camero recommended back in 2017, and see if I can get it to 100%! Now, right before hitting “Post” I did a search and found out what Kohler recommends in this article https://www.everydaycheapskate.com/clean-bathtub-anti-slip-bottom/ “ROG3 is miraculous and will bring your tub back to its shiny new self including the slip-resistant etching, without damaging the porcelain or the anti-slip surface. You must get this product (actually it comes in a kit) from the manufacturer’s website. ROG3 is not available in stores or through Amazon. In the kit you will receive two bottles—ROG3 Blue Liquid and ROG1 White Cream plus a scrubbing pad and sprayer head, for about $55 plus shipping, which is quite a bargain as compared to having a tub refinished or replaced. Look for a discount and or free shipping option at the ROG3 site. Often the company will offer that at least for a first-time purchase.”...See MoreNew Kohler Levity glass shower doors...
Comments (51)Just installed a Kohler Levity shower door on a full bath remodel (we converted a full bath to a walk-in 3/4 bath). There is a major design flaw with this door, water leaks out from the bottom and sides of both panels and gets all over the floor. We visited the Kohler website and tried calling Kohler, but they don't have anyone answering phone calls for customer service. We went on Amazon.com and ordered generic silicone water seals to add to all sides of both panels in the hopes we can stop the water leakage. Overall, we are extremely disappointed with the design and performance of the shower door and with Kohler for that matter. The door is pretty and install is not terribly complicated (clear install instructions in the box and great install video on YouTube), the door just has some significant design flaws that Kohler needs to address....See MoreMaster Bathroom Updated - X-Post from Decorating
Comments (25)bullielove and motherof3inct - Yes, the Linen Cabinet was also built custom and to match the vanity - drawers same height and same wood/finish. The original Linen Closet had an 18" bi-fold door, which really only opened about 15", with wire shelving inside. The door was standard 80" height. We opened the width to 24" and the height to 96" for this cabinet. It is free-standing, though anchored, and the frame is scribed to fit as if built-in. Appreciate your kind remarks....See Morex post Solid Shower Pans
Comments (16)Red Lover here a couple pictures of our shower base. Sorry they are not the best quality pictures. And I tried 3 times to re-size them but the first one keeps showing up very big. We had our shower base custom sized but they also have standard sizes. It was done by our fabricator in Wisconsin but the company has a couple distributors elsewhere. You might be able to find a local fabricator that makes them. The name of the company is Buffalo Stone.You can get more information and pictures from their website: http://buffalonsp.com/index.html...See Morelisa_a
