CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FAUCET

Your Kingston Brass faucet has been finished to the most strict standards; however, due to the high content of minerals in the water, your finish may appear dull and tarnished after time. These are some do’s and don’ts to maintain the luster on your faucet for many years to come.

DO

  1. Use a silicon based caulking when installing.
  2. Clean your faucet with only a mild soap and water solution.
  3. Dry your faucet after using It.
  4. Give it a coat of Carnauba Wax periodically.

DON’T

  1. Use plumbers putty when installing the faucet.
  2. Use any abrasive cleaning agents.

It may seem like a very simple and short list but it is that simple to maintain your faucet, looking shiny and new.
If your faucet is already looking somewhat dull and tarnished, before replacing it, try cleaning it with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water, you may need to soak some rags and wrap around those stubborn areas, leave overnight and rinse completely in the morning, apply Carnauba wax once you have removed the mineral deposits.
