Frequent cleaning is indispensable to maintain a bathroom in hygienic conditions, but cleaning all the elements in a proper manner, depending on the material they are made of, is just as important in order not to damage your bathroom fixtures and accessories.
When it comes to cleaning and maintenance, taps and fittings are definitely among the elements that require special attention.
How to clean the bathroom taps
In the bathroom limescale is the enemy of cleanliness. When limescale clings to chromed parts, action must be taken, but always taking care not to damage the metal. Whatever the finish – chromed, satin, matt – knowing how to clean the bathroom taps is important in order not to damage them irreversibly.
These are our cleaning tips for bathroom taps and accessories:
- do not use metal or abrasive sponges
- do not use aggressive, abrasive detergents, detergents containing hydrochloric acid or alcohol, and solvents in general. We recommend using water and a neutral or non-aggressive soap
- do not apply the detergent directly to the surface to be cleaned
- do not let the detergent work longer than the recommended time indicated on the packaging, then rinse thoroughly with running water
- dry the taps after use with a soft, dry cloth
By following these recommendations you will prevent the formation of stains, the risk of scratches, and the dulling of the surface finish.
Enemy No. 1: limescale
Limescale residues are one of the main threats to bathroom hygiene, especially in areas where the water is very hard. How can we clean bathroom taps from limescale without damaging them? There are natural remedies that can do the job without posing risks to the material.
Cleaning the taps with vinegar is one of the best solutions. Use a cloth soaked in white vinegar and rub the surface to be cleaned, then rinse with water and dry carefully. As an alternative, you can clean your chromed bathroom parts with bicarbonate of soda.
If you do no like the strong scent of vinegar and want to use a natural remedy, you can use a mix of lemon and bicarbonate and follow the same procedure as described above for white wine vinegar.
The use of good quality products and the proper cleaning and maintenance of the accessories ensures that your bathroom will last a long time.
