How to Clean Chrome Taps - Amazing Bathroom Supplies
Top tips for Keeping Your Chrome Taps Sparkling
Cleaning your bathroom and kitchen taps may often fall to the bottom of your to-do list, but with consistent maintenance, it's a breeze to keep your chrome taps shining. Here are some simple tips to make tap cleaning a cinch:
Regular Wiping:
Chrome taps can accumulate dirt, grime, and limescale over time. Regular wiping with a microfiber cloth can prevent this buildup. Avoid using anything abrasive to prevent scratching the tap surface.
Warm Soapy Water:
A mixture of warm water and a small amount of soap or washing-up liquid is an effective and affordable solution for cleaning chrome taps. Wet a soft cloth with this mixture and wipe over your taps for a quick clean.
Vinegar:
Vinegar is a versatile household cleaner that works wonders on highly stained or watermarked chrome taps. Dilute equal parts vinegar and water, and either spray it directly onto the tap or apply it to a soft cloth. Wipe over the taps until they sparkle.
Lemon Juice:
Like vinegar, lemon juice's acidity makes it effective for cleaning chrome taps. However, use it sparingly to avoid stripping the tap's protective coating. Dilute lemon juice with water, apply it to the taps, and scrub away grime or limescale with a toothbrush.
Baby Oil:
For extra shine and a streak-free finish, try using a small amount of baby oil on a microfiber cloth to wipe over your taps. This is a great option for a mid-week touch-up or as a follow-up to a more thorough cleaning session.
Toothbrush:
A toothbrush is handy for tackling buildup in hard-to-reach areas of your taps. Pair it with any of the cleaning solutions mentioned above for thorough cleaning and to maintain the taps' pristine condition.
Steam Cleaner:
Steam cleaners are not only for removing wrinkles from clothes but also for cleaning chrome taps effectively. These devices can loosen stubborn limescale buildup. After using a steam cleaner on your taps, wipe them down with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.
Note: These cleaning methods may not be suitable for all tap finishes, especially matte and coloured taps. Always test any cleaning solution on a small area first.
