Kindly follow the guidelines mentioned below to give you the best results and to maintain the finishes and longevity of the product.
- Clean the product with water-soaked soft towel or mild bathing soap solution and rinse, once in a day or two, to keep the plated or other surface clean and free from any deposits.
- Don’t use any type of cleaning/detergent agents which contain acids or chemicals such as flush cleaner, tile cleaner etc.
- Don’t use salt or vinegar-based cleaning agents to remove scale or scale-related stains. They may damage the surface or finish of product.
- Special color combination products should not be rubbed with emery paper/cleaning powder. This can cause abrasion.
You need to protect your product from:
- Water Scaling: Due to presence of minerals and salt in water, scaling is formed on the product if it is not cleaned regularly. The products should be cleaned gently, at regular intervals. Also, take extra care to clean the edges and corners of the products because these areas are more vulnerable for scale/deposits settling. Clean the aerators from time to time for a perfect foam flow of water from the product.
The property of water being used is very important for your plumbing installations (Pipes, product, etc.), as well as for your own hygiene. The hardness of water should not exceed 300-400ppm. - Acid Fumes: When we clean the tiles or floors in the bathroom with cleaning agents which contain acids or similar chemicals, acid fumes are formed. Because the basic material used in the products is brass, brass being an alloy of copper reacts with these acid fumes. With this reaction, a green colour layer is formed on the products resulting in damage to the outer finish or coating.
- Scratching while cleaning: Scratching or scrubbing occurs due to hard nature of cloth or coarse cleaning powder being used for cleaning. Use a gentle fluffy soft cloth for cleaning the surface.
- Atmospheric conditions: This condition applies mostly to salt content in the air in the coastal areas, at times reacts with the product material and dark spots emerge on the surface of product. Therefore, the product is required to be cleaned regularly. At the time of installation of these products, cover the products with the cloth covers provided in packaging or with polythene till the time you actually start using them.
