How Do I Make My Shower Handle Shiny?

You can make your shower handle shiny by polishing and buffing it.

Here's a detailed guide on how to achieve that sparkling finish:

Steps to a Shiny Shower Handle

1. Gather Your Supplies:

   • Soft cloths (microfiber is ideal)
   • Faucet polish or a DIY solution (baking soda and water)

2. Cleaning:

   • Before polishing, ensure your shower handle is clean of any soap scum or hard water buildup. Use a mild soap or cleaner to remove any grime and then rinse with water.

3. Apply Polish:

   • If using a commercial faucet polish, apply a small amount to a soft cloth.
   • For a DIY solution, mix baking soda with a little water to create a paste.
   • Gently apply the polish or the baking soda paste to the shower handle.

4. Polish:

   • Use a clean, soft cloth to gently rub the polish into the shower handle using circular motions. Be sure to cover all areas you wish to shine.

5. Rinse:

   • Thoroughly rinse the shower handle with clean water to remove all traces of the polish or baking soda paste.

6. Dry:

   • Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the handle completely.

7. Buff:

   • Finally, buff the handle with a clean, dry cloth to bring out the maximum shine.

Additional Tips for Maximum Shine:

• Regular Maintenance: To maintain the shine, clean your shower handles regularly to prevent buildup that can dull their appearance.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners that can scratch or damage the finish of your shower handle.
• Test First: If using a new polish, test it on an inconspicuous area of the handle first to ensure it won't cause any discoloration.
• Elbow Grease: Sometimes a little extra buffing can bring out even more shine.

By following these steps, you can easily restore the shine to your shower handle and keep it looking its best.
