One simple word defines the difference between faucets found in showrooms and faucets used daily in everyday household use: Shine. Sink faucets are beautiful and shiny at first, but they eventually become duller and less attractive. The faucet's original shine is lost as people wash their hands constantly, soap splashes onto the faucet head, and water spots and stains build up. This could have happened to your shower faucet, your sink faucet, or even your bathtub. Do you notice a general discoloration around your bathroom faucets? Here's how to maintain your bathroom faucets looking brand new.
How to tell if your faucet needs polishing
A shiny, streak-free faucet is one that's clean. If you see spots or stains on your bathroom faucet, it is time to take action. This applies regardless of whether your faucet is made from glass, porcelain or chrome, brass, or any other material.
Benefits of Polished Faucets
You can see the benefits of a clean bathroom. Here are some benefits you can expect if your faucets are kept clean.
Like-new feeling. This is true for faucets and automobiles alike. The better they are maintained, the more valuable and newer they appear.
A sense of overall cleanliness. A clean bathroom requires that every part of the bathroom be neat, including the faucet and countertops. The faucet will not work if there are water spots.
A wow factor is more important. A sparkling faucet is a great way to make a lasting impression on guests and visitors. It will be more impressive if it is kept clean and polished.
Tips to Polish Your Bathroom Faucet
You will need to polish a faucet using a few tools: a cleaning cloth, soap, vinegar, and water, along with an old toothbrush. Here are some useful tips and tools to keep in mind:
Take out the liquor cabinet. You might be surprised to know that vodka is a great cleaning agent, especially when it comes to bathroom faucets. Use the alcohol to soak a cloth and polish chrome, porcelain, or glass fixtures.
Use an acidic medium to remove soap spots. Basic white vinegar is effective in removing soap scum or water spots. These tricky scum marks can also be removed with lemon juice.
Oil the faucet. To make sure the faucet sparkles again, apply baby oil to it.
Avoid scouring pads. While abrasive cleaning tools may work well for kitchen pans, they should be avoided for bathroom faucets. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch and damage the faucet's finish. Instead, use old toothbrushes and clothes.
Brass faucets should be kept dry and delicate. Use a damp cloth or a cloth that has been dipped into warm soapy water to get rid of any scum and spots on brass faucets. Anything more aggressive can cause damage to the fixture. Dry the faucet thoroughly after cleaning it. To prevent water stains from developing, you might want to keep a towel in your bathroom.
