Our tips for cleaning black taps
Tip 1 : Clean with a mild detergent and a soft cloth
When cleaning your bathroom weekly, we recommend using a mild cleaning product as soon as you reach the black faucets. Choose green soap, for example. Rinse your faucets thoroughly after cleaning to ensure no cleaning product residue remains. Besides the product, the right cloth is also important. A soft cloth, such as a microfiber cloth, is best. Avoid using a scouring pad, as this will scratch your faucet.
Tip 2 : Dry everything thoroughly
After daily use or cleaning, thoroughly dry the black shower set or shower head with a soft cloth. This will keep the products free of limescale for longer. When you get out of the shower, you can simply use the towel you used to dry yourself. This way, you don't have to dig out multiple towels. The same goes for the black shower faucet and sink faucet .
Tip 3 : Too late? Choose lemon as a base
If you do happen to experience limescale buildup on your black faucet, clean it with a mild, citric acid-based cleaner. Do not use cleaners containing hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, chlorine, or other harmful, aggressive acids. This also applies to (professional) cleaning agents containing phosphoric acid. We also advise against using scouring pads or abrasives when cleaning black faucets. These can scratch your products.
Tip 4 : Remove scratches on your black faucet
Did you notice any scratches while cleaning your black faucets? You probably have a black permanent marker at home! Use it to blend in the scratches and make them less visible.
Tip 5 : Sometimes tackle cleaning on a large scale
Are you diligent and busy every day? Do a thorough cleaning a few times a year. You might not always realize it, but dust can build up in your drawers or cupboards. That dust then settles around a bit, causing you to find dust again just after you've finished cleaning. That's why it's important to empty and clean everything in your bathroom or kitchen once a year, so you're ready to tackle it again.
Choose high-quality black taps
The advantage of our black faucets is that you're getting quality. Many black faucets are inexpensive but of poor quality. They're powder-coated, and every blemish is visible and scratches very easily. Our black faucets have a galvanized finish. Galvanization (electroplating) is a process that uses an electric current to dissolve and shape metal. It's more scratch-resistant, wear-resistant, and durable than traditional powder coating. This also saves you a lot of cleaning time for your black faucets.
Despite their high quality, we still recommend cleaning and maintaining your products properly with our tips. This not only looks fresh, but also creates a clean, minimalist look in your bathroom and kitchen. Are you going for a black pull-out kitchen faucet , a black wall-mounted shower, or a black rain shower ? Cleaning black faucets is a breeze with our tips!
If black faucets aren't your thing, we have a whole range of other faucets. Also check out our beautiful copper and rose gold faucets . Good luck cleaning your black faucet! You'll probably be dreading it, but when you're done, you'll feel so satisfied...
