Modern lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets, and showers consist of very different materials to comply with the needs of the
market with regard to design and functionality. To avoid damage and returns, it is necessary to consider certain criteria when
cleaning.
Cleaning Materials for faucets and showers
Acids are a necessary ingredient of cleaning materials for removing lime, however please pay attention to the following points
when cleaning faucets and showers:
■
Only use cleaning materials which are explicitly intended for this type of application.
■
Never use cleaning materials which contain hydrochloric, formic, phosphoric, or acetic acid, as they cause considerable
damage.
■
Never mix one cleaning material with another.
■
Never use cleaning materials or appliances with an abrasive effect, such as unsuitable cleaning powders, sponge pads, or
micro fiber cloths.
Cleaning instructions for faucets and showers
Please follow the cleaning material manufacturer's instructions. In addition, pay attention to the following points:
■
Clean the faucets and showers as and when required.
■
Use the amount of cleaning product and the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer. Do not leave the cleaner
on the fixture longer than necessary.
■
Regular cleaning can prevent calcification, if scale deposits are noticed on the faucet surface or the spout, you can clean it
by a commercial limescale remover, such as Lime-Away® or CLR®.Dilute the remover according to the label instructions.
■
The faucets might have some rusty if your faucet under hard water condition, please rub it with aluminum foil dipped in
water until the surface is nice and smooth, and wipe it use a small amount of chrome polish or maybe something like car
wax(such as Meguiar®,Turtle Wax®) or polish.
■
For stainless steel faucet and spout both made of solid stainless, normally this finish has not protective coating on it(in
particular waterfall spout inside),stainless steel is by its material nature very tarnish resistant, but by no means tarnish or
stain proof. This finish might oxidize naturally over time and react to its environment. Keep your stainless fixture wiped
clean and dry and use only a cleaner specifically made for stainless steel (such as Weiman®, CLR®).
■
When using spray cleaners, spray first onto a soft cloth or sponge, never spray directly onto the faucet as droplets can
enter openings and gaps and cause damage.
■
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaner residue.
Important
Residues of liquid soaps, shampoos, and shower foams can also cause damage, so rinse with clean water after using.
Please note
: if the surface is already damaged, the effect of cleaning materials will cause further damage.
Components with damaged surfaces must be replaced or injury could result.
Damage caused by improper treatment is not covered under the warranty.
