Tips for product  cleaning and maintenance

FAUCETS CLEANING

CHROMED FAUCETS

For optimal cleaning of your faucet, it is advisable to dry it after each use with a soft cloth, this will prevent the deposit of water drops and and residues of personal care products on the surfaces and the formation of limescale stains that may be difficult to remove.

In the presence of limescale or streaks, it is advisable to use a soft cotton cloth and a mild soap, alternatively, you can use mild citric acid-based detergent.
Always remember to rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth.

Avoid abrasive or alcohol-containing cleaners and descalers, abrasive sponges or cloths, or those with the presence of scourers.

In case of stubborn stains, do not rub the product in but patiently and gently repeat the cleaning steps several times.

COLOUR FINISHED FAUCETS

It is advisable to dry your coloured faucets with a clean cotton cloth after each use to avoid the formation of limescale deposits and to minimize the use of detergents.

Clean the faucet with a soft cotton cloth and running water only. If necessary, use a very delicate soap with neutral PH, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth.

Avoid abrasive or alcohol-containing cleaners and descalers, abrasive sponges or cloths, or those with the presence of scourers.

In case of stubborn stains, do not rub the product in but patiently and gently repeat the cleaning steps several times.

NOT TO DO

Do not use detergents based on acid and highly corrosive substances (e.g. acetic acid, sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite, phosphoric acid, saline acid, etc..). Avoid abrasive sponges or rough metal straws, microfibre cloths which could irreparably damage the surface.  

CLEANING THE AERATOR

The aerator on the faucet can be removed to facilitate cleaning operations.

Gently remove the aerator, using your hands or the provided wrench depending on the model.
If the aerator presents too much resistance, use a wrench of the correct size, if necessary cushion your grip with a rag to avoid scratching the taps.
It is advisable to immerse the aerator (or only the filter in the case of aerators with a cap) in diluted white vinegar or citric acid solution: limescale deposits will dissolve within a few minutes.
If the aerator model is equipped with silicone teats, it will be sufficient to tilt them, rubbing them gently with a finger, until any limescale blockages are released.

MAINTENANCE OF SHOWERHEADS AND HAND SHOWERS

To clean the hand showers and shower heads, refer to the instructions provided for cleaning chrome or finished faucets, depending on the product you purchased.

Pay constant attention to cleaning the outlet jets to prevent them from being blocked by limescale: in addition to reducing performance, blocked jets do not allow the water to flow out, generating an internal pressure which can deform the product until it breaks.

SHOWERHEADS AND HAND SHOWERS WITH SILICONE TEATS

To clean the silicone teats, simply tilt them, rubbing them gently with a finger, until they are free from any limescale blockages.

IMPORTANT

It is recommended to always purge the pipes before installing the taps and to make sure that the products for washing tiles and coverings do not come into contact with the taps during site cleaning.
