A clean kitchen faucet looks great and works well too. Owning a Kohler Bevin Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet means you need regular maintenance.
This helps prevent buildup, keeps it running smoothly, and extends its lifespan. This guide shows you how to clean and care for your Kohler Bevin pull-down faucet handle. Follow these simple steps for the best results.
Your Kohler Bevin faucet collects mineral deposits, soap scum, and grease over time. This buildup can reduce water flow and make it hard to use the pull-down feature. Regular cleaning prevents blockages, leaks, and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.

ToggleMaterials Needed
- White vinegar or CLR (Calcium, Lime, Rust remover)
- Mild dish soap
- A plastic bag or bowl
- An old toothbrush or soft brush
- A microfiber cloth or sponge
- Rubber gloves (optional)
- Allen wrench (for disassembling handle, if necessary)
Step 1: Remove and Soak the Spray Head
- Detach the spray head: Most Kohler Bevin pull-down kitchen faucets have a spray head that can be unscrewed from the hose. Use an Allen wrench if needed.
- Prepare a vinegar soak: Fill a plastic bag or bowl with equal parts white vinegar and warm water.
- Submerge the spray head: Leave it in the solution for at least 1-2 hours to break down mineral buildup.
- Scrub the nozzles: Use an old toothbrush to remove any remaining debris in the spray face.
- Rinse thoroughly: Run water through the spray head to flush out loosened dirt before reattaching it.
Step 2: Clean the Faucet Handle and Body
- Wipe the faucet handle: Use a damp microfiber cloth with mild dish soap to remove grease and smudges.
- Address tough stains: If you notice mineral buildup around the handle base, soak a paper towel in vinegar, wrap it around the affected area, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Scrub gently: Use a soft brush to remove stubborn residue without scratching the finish.
- Rinse and dry: Wipe the entire faucet with a clean, damp cloth and dry it with a towel to prevent water spots.
Step 3: Deep Cleaning the Hose and Internal Components
- Inspect for blockages: If water flow is weak, disconnect the pull-down hose and check for debris.
- Flush with warm water: Run warm water through the hose to remove any sediment.
- Reassemble and test: After cleaning, reconnect all components and turn on the faucet to check for leaks or irregular water flow.
Preventative Maintenance Tips
- Use filtered water to reduce mineral buildup.
- Dry the faucet after each use to prevent water spots and corrosion.
- Check the spray head monthly for signs of clogging and clean as needed.
- Avoid harsh cleaners that can damage the ScratchShield™ or Spot Repel® finish.
