Cleaning your tap is straightforward, and here's how to do it effectively:
The simplest method for cleaning your taps is to use warm, soapy water and a soft microfiber cloth. This will effectively remove everyday dirt, grime, and watermarks.
Here's a step-by-step approach:
- Prepare your materials: Gather warm water, a mild dish soap, and a clean microfiber cloth.
- Mix soapy water: Add a few drops of dish soap to the warm water.
- Apply to the tap: Dip the microfiber cloth into the soapy water and wring out any excess liquid, so that it is not too wet.
- Clean the tap: Gently wipe down all parts of the tap, including the spout, handle(s), and base.
- Rinse: Use a clean, damp microfiber cloth to rinse off any soapy residue.
- Dry: Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff the tap and leave a streak free shine.
