After the faucet is used for a period of time, a lot of stains will be generated, which will greatly reduce the aesthetics of the faucet. In addition, if you do not pay attention to the maintenance of the faucet, it will also affect the normal use of the faucet. The following editor will introduce you to the cleaning and maintenance precautions of kitchen and bathroom faucets.

The cleaning and maintenance precautions of kitchen and bathroom faucets include the following three points:

1. Turn on and off lightly

Do not switch the faucet too hard, just turn it gently. The metal hose of the shower head should be kept in a naturally stretched state, and should not be folded into a dead corner to avoid breaking.

2. Regular cleaning

Even high-quality faucet products must rely on proper cleaning and maintenance to perform their greater functions. The correct method is to wipe with a neutral detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using alcoholic and acidic detergents when cleaning, because they will damage the surface of the faucet.

Three, develop good cleaning and maintenance habits

1. Because the water contains a small amount of carbonic acid, it is easy to form scale on the metal surface and cause corrosion to the surface of the faucet. Therefore, you should always wipe the surface of the faucet with a soft cotton cloth or sponge with neutral soap, and then dry the surface with a soft cloth. And to clean the water outlet with a screen, clean the impurities and scale in the screen.

2. After taking a shower, it is better to clean the water droplets in the shower head, and then hang it up. Do not put the shower head directly on the switch, which may cause limescale. If limescale accumulates, use a pencil tip or chopsticks to gently scrape it off, and then wipe it off with a rag.

3. For scale, rust, etc. on the faucet, just wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge dipped in a little special detergent, and then wipe it dry with a clean cloth or rinse it with water. Dip the toothpaste with a soft toothbrush or wipe it gently with a scouring pad dipped in toothpaste to remove limescale and oil, leaving the faucet surface clean and shiny.

4. Many people only notice the surface of the faucet when cleaning the faucet, but the inside of the faucet is actually more important. If the water output of the faucet is reduced or the water is crossed, it may be caused by the blockage of the bubbler. The bubbler can be removed, soaked in vinegar, clean the debris with a small brush or other tools, and then reinstalled.

There are many reasons for faucet leakage. If it is only a simple leak, you can fix it yourself. If water leaks at the water outlet, it is caused by wear of the shaft gasket. Just use pliers to loosen the gland and remove it, and replace it with a new shaft gasket. If water leaks from the gap under the faucet bolt, it is caused by the wear of the triangular gasket in the gland. Take out the triangular gasket inside the gland and replace it with a new one.
