Tips how to clean faucets
We recommend to take care of faucets and shower accessories – in this way, you will extend their lifetime and avoid malfunctions while using a product:
- Every 1-2 months clean a faucet’s aerator from dirt and lime. Dirt and sediments on the mesh can be cleaned with a strong water stream, and if you find lime build-up, soak the aerator for a couple of hours at high concentration vinegar;
- Clean a faucet’s surface once a week using soft sponges or microfiber cloths. The stains on faucets (chrome-plated, coloured, gilded), that occur from the minerals, can be easily cleaned with soap or mild detergent. Wash a faucet with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth;
- Mineral deposits may form in a shower head same as in an aerator. If you regularly clean a shower head, it will extend its lifetime. A shower head is cleaned in the same way as an aerator;
- Periodically replace standard parts such as spacers, aerators;
- We recommend to install cleaning filters to avoid dirt particles in a faucet;
- If premises are not heated during winter and the temperature drops below 0 °C, it is vital to turn off water supply in a faucet and to drain it.
HOW TO CLEAN MATT COLOURED SURFACES
• For frequent cleaning we recommend using a mild detergent. For example, vegetable oil-based soap.
• Use light and gentle cleaning forward motions from top to bottom. Please use minimum scrubbing. Rinse cleaned surfaces from detergents left with warm water.
• After shower dry your shower set and showerhead with a soft microfiber cloth. It will help to keep a matt black surface free from limescale for a longer.
• If there’s still limescale on your tap, just try to use a mild homemade detergent with citric acid or any non-chemical cleanser.
DON’T DO IT PLEASE
• Don‘t use scourers or any abrasive tools;
• Don‘t use any chemical based cleansers;
• Don‘t use any cleansers with unidentified composition;
• Don‘t use solvents or agressive agents;
• Don‘t bleach;
• Don‘t use detergents that contain hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, chlorine, phosphoric acid or any other aggressive acids.
