The best general maintenance is regular cleaning – Wipe the tap with a dry towel after use.
Even though our finishes are considered durable, you should never use any abrasive type cleaners, clothes, or pads to clean your fixtures. Always try and keep your finishes clean and dry. Trapped moisture on the surface of your finish can lead to staining and scaling. Astringent cleaners, chlorine, bleach, along with acidic based organic cleansers are potentially harmful to these finishes. Chrome plated finishes are very tarnish resistant. However, they are not indestructible and can scratch and mar.
- Do not allow water spots to dry on the fixture. Keep the surface clean and dry after use.
- Periodic cleaning can be done by applying mild soap with a soft clean cloth to gently remove surface spots.
- Never use cleaners with bleach, abrasives, or vinegar. Never use any type of abrasive pad or sponge.
Can drain openers cause damage to finishes?
In most cases, all types of drain un blockers have some sort of heavy chemicals and composition of acid in them to unblock the soap scum build up, we always recommend that if you are using this product please ensure that it does not come in to contact with your faucet – it should go directly in to the drain.
