Do You Know How to Clean Stainless Steel Bathroom Faucet?

Many people think that the bathroom sink faucet does not need to be cleaned. In fact, this idea is wrong. The bathroom mixer tap also needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise bacteria will accumulate, especially when you have children at home. When stainless steel faucets are covered with fingerprints, stains, water stains and even toothpaste, they lose their attractive luster and there are also hygiene problems. This article will tell you how to clean stainless steel basin mixer taps.

 

When cleaning stainless steel face basin faucet, knowing what not to do is as important as knowing what to do. You should avoid using coarse scouring powder or steel wool, as well as cleaning products containing chlorine, bleach and ammonia, because these may damage the surface finish of the faucet. You should also avoid using oven cleaners as they may scratch your surface. If used improperly, even clean water will leave unsightly marks and spots on the surface of the faucet.

 

In fact, a combination of cleaning and polishing is ideal. You can clean and polish in one step with a simple special cleaner and polisher for stainless steel. At the same time, this actually creates a protective barrier to help resist future dust, marks and stains, keeping your metal looking cleaner and longer. .

 

Before cleaning, you should be sure to determine the texture of the surface of the stainless steel table top wash basin taps. The texture is brushed stainless steel, which is different from surface-to-surface. The texture of your stainless steel mixer wall tap will be a horizontal or vertical fuzzy texture. In order to get the best gloss, you must rub back and forth or up and down along the direction of the texture. If you accidentally rub the particles, it may cause friction marks.

 

Here are some tips:

 

1. Many companies provide lifetime warranty on newly installed bathroom waterfall taps. If corrosive drain cleaners or other corrosive cleaners are used on the faucet, these guarantees may be invalid. It is a good idea to know if you have a warranty; if you do, be sure to avoid cleaning supplies or drain cleaners, which may invalidate the warranty.

 

2. Some hand wash sink faucets have a special finish called a live finish. The single basin taps will produce patina when it ages. If you clean the faucet with more than water, you will remove some or all of the patina. If you like patina, be careful not to scratch it off.

 

3. It is not a good idea to use a scrubbing sponge or abrasive brush for most of the polishing. When in doubt, test in a hidden place first.

 

4. A mild surface cleaner may be a good choice for cleaning your faucet.

 

5. To make your chrome faucet sparkle, you can try to put a little baby oil on a cotton ball.
