General Cleaning
Bristan products are made from premium materials, with hand polishing and
electroplated finishes.
Your taps or shower should be regularly cleaned with warm water, a mild pH-
neutral liquid soap, and polished with a soft cloth. Any residues from soap,
toothpaste, shampoos and shower gels can cause blemishes if not rinsed off
straight after use.
Household bleaches and cleaners contain harsh chemicals and may damage the
surface finish. Avoid using abrasive cloths, scouring pads, scrub sponges,
steel wool
or anything similar.
Some surfaces such as nickel and pewter may be affected by the dye found in
some cloths, so it is also important to avoid hanging cloths on spouts.

We recommend servicing your tap at least once every year to prolong its life. To see a video showing how to remove the cartridge for servicing, scan the QR code with your smart phone or tablet. Alternatively visit www.youtube.com/BristanTV
