How to Clean Your LuxStone Shower

One of the best things about a KOHLER® LuxStone® shower is how easy it is to maintain. Unlike traditional tiled showers — where grout lines trap soap scum, moisture, and mildew — LuxStone is engineered with advanced materials that make cleaning quick, simple, and genuinely stress-free. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your shower sparkling.

Why LuxStone Is Easier To Clean

The secret is in the design. LuxStone shower walls fit together seamlessly without grout, eliminating one of the biggest maintenance headaches of traditional tile. The shower base features a recessed drain that prevents water pooling and unsightly soap scum rings around the edges. And the glass door comes factory-treated with CleanCoat® technology — a special coating that causes water to bead up and run off the glass surface instead of leaving behind mineral deposits and water spots.

What You’ll Need

You don’t need a cabinet full of harsh chemicals to keep a LuxStone shower looking its best. In fact, the wrong products can damage the surfaces. Avoid anything with abrasives, bleach, ammonia, acids, waxes, or solvents. All you need are a few simple tools:

  • A shower squeegee
  • A soft cloth or damp sponge
  • A mild detergent or KOHLER-recommended cleaner

Daily Maintenance: Less Than A Minute

The most effective way to keep your LuxStone shower looking great is a simple post-shower routine. After each use, swipe the squeegee over the glass door to prevent water spots. Then use a soft cloth to wipe down the walls and any remaining wet surfaces. Leaving the shower dry after each use is the single most effective way to prevent soap buildup and lime deposits — and the whole process takes less than a minute.

Deep Cleaning Tips

Every few weeks, plan for a more thorough clean. Here’s how to tackle each part of your shower:

Shower walls: Spray a mild cleaner like KOHLER Tub & Shower Cleaner from 6–12 inches away, starting from the bottom and working upward. Wipe with a soft, damp sponge. Always test a new cleaning product on a small area before applying it to the entire surface.

Accessories: For anodized aluminum accessories like the Shower Barre or Floating Shelf, use KOHLER Faucet Cleaner — spray lightly and wipe dry with a clean towel. For acrylic accessories, follow the same approach as the walls.

Showerhead and faucets: Spray lightly with faucet cleaner and wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive tools that can dull the finish over time.

Glass door: Use the same light-spray-and-wipe method as the faucets. After cleaning, leave the door slightly ajar to allow airflow and help prevent mildew growth inside the shower.

Enjoy A Shower That’s Easy To Love

With just a small daily habit and an occasional thorough clean, your KOHLER LuxStone shower will stay beautiful for years to come. It’s one of the many reasons homeowners throughout the Cincinnati area are making the switch.
