🚿 Taps, Showers & Brassware
Daily Cleaning:
-
Wipe dry with a soft microfiber cloth after each use to prevent limescale and water spots.
-
Use warm soapy water and a soft sponge for routine cleaning.
Avoid:
✘ Abrasive cloths, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners.
✘ Bleach, ammonia, or any acidic descaler not labelled as brassware-safe.

-
Use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner or mild detergent.
-
Disinfect with an antibacterial cleaner weekly.
Avoid:
✘ Scrubbing brushes with metal bristles or heavy-duty scourers.

🧴 Product-Specific Advice
Some finishes like brushed brass, matte black, or gunmetal need extra care:
-
Only use warm water and a soft cloth.
-
Avoid any cleaning products unless specifically approved for that finish.
-
Gently scrub with a soft sponge.
-
Let it sit for no more than 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Cleaning Special Finish Taps
For finishes like matt black, brushed brass, or chrome:
-
Avoid vinegar and other harsh chemicals.
-
Stick to warm soapy water or the lemon solution for short contact (under 2 minutes).
-
Always use a soft cloth.
Aerator Maintenance
-
The aerator (nozzle on the tap outlet) may gather limescale, disrupting water flow.
-
Clean using a toothbrush and lemon juice solution.
-
Repeat if necessary using fresh solution.
What to Avoid
Abrasive Tools
-
Avoid scouring pads, wire wool, and stiff brushes — these can scratch or damage the finish.
Harsh Chemicals
-
Do not use bleach, spray cleaners, or rust removers.
-
Even with natural solutions like lemon juice, rinse thoroughly and avoid prolonged exposure.
