Care and Cleaning
Your faucet is manufactured with high grade materials and will provide you many years of enjoyment with the proper care.
| Do: | Do Not: |
|---|
- Towel dry after use whenever possible to prevent water spots . Should water spots occur, clean with a mild solution of vinegar and water followed by a thorough rinse.
- Use liquid soap, a general household cleaner, or a weak solution of vinegar and water for regular cleaning .
|
- Do not allow any food, detergent, soap or grease to dry or sit for extended periods of time on the surface of the faucet.
- Never use abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals, as they will dull and scratch the finish.
- Never use chlorine-based cleaners, because they can lead to rust spots and discoloration
SCRATCH, SPOT, AND BLEMISH REMOVAL AND SURFACE RESTORATION:
Little rust spots and blemishes that periodically appear on the faucet are
typically the result of the steel interacting with the chemicals found in the
vast spectrum of substances that faucets are commonly exposed to.
To remove scratches, spots, and blemishes from the faucet, rub them with a
non-metallic scouring pad (e.g. Scotch-Brite®) combined with a mild abrasive
cleaner (e.g. Vim® or Barkeeper’s Friend®). Always rub the surfaces in the
direction of the grain of the steel. When finished, rinse the faucet with
water and dry it with a towel to allow the faucet to form a protective outer
layer .
