How to clean and maintain Brass Basin Faucets to keep their shine?

To clean and maintain Brass Basin Faucets to keep their shine, you can follow these steps:
I. Cleaning Steps
Prepare tools: Make sure you have the necessary cleaning tools, such as a soft cloth, a mild detergent (such as non-abrasive dishwashing liquid or a special faucet cleaner), and an old toothbrush if necessary (for cleaning hard-to-reach areas).
Preliminary cleaning: Dip a soft cloth in an appropriate amount of detergent and gently wipe the surface of the faucet to remove surface stains and grease.
Deep cleaning: For hard-to-clean areas, such as the faucet nozzle or the gap between the handles, you can use an old toothbrush dipped in detergent for detailed cleaning.
Rinse and dry: Rinse the faucet with clean water to ensure that all the detergent is rinsed off. Then dry the faucet with a clean soft cloth to avoid water stains.
II. Maintenance recommendations
Avoid using strong acid and alkali cleaners: These cleaners may corrode the surface of the faucet, causing the gloss to decrease.
Regular cleaning: It is recommended to clean the faucet at least once a week to maintain its good appearance and performance.
Gentle operation: When using the faucet, try to avoid excessive force or frequent rotation of the handle to reduce the risk of wear and damage.
Pay attention to water quality: If the water quality at home is hard, the minerals in the water may form deposits on the surface of the faucet. It is recommended to install a water softening device or use soft water for cleaning to reduce the formation of deposits.
Use a special protective agent: You can regularly apply a special protective agent on the surface of the faucet to form a protective film to prevent stains and fingerprints from adhering, while maintaining the gloss of the faucet.
