Apart from being a functional piece, your kitchen tap is also an attention-catcher. It will serve you longer and maintain hygiene in the cooking area if you properly care for it and clean as required. Read on to find out how to keep your kitchen tap clean and well maintained as possible.
Regular Cleaning Routine:
Start by wiping the surface of the mixer with a mild soap solution using a soft cloth to get rid of everyday dirt, water spots, fingerprints that would keep your mixer looking shiny like new one.
Deep Cleaning Tips:
To make the cleaning deeper, take equal parts of white vinegar and water into a spray bottle. Then, generously spray this solution over the tap and allow it to stay there for some few minutes so that it can break down any stubborn mineral deposits or grime. Finally, use an old toothbrush gently scrub around its base as well as crevices of the mixer ensuring cleanliness.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners:
Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads that may scratch off your mixer’s finish. Instead, gentle detergents like baking soda paste should be used on hard stains applied using a smooth fabric in order to safeguard its surface.
Maintaining Functionality:
Regularly check whether there is leakage or dripping at joins between different parts of the tap. Whenever necessary tighten all loose connections and replace old worn out washers promptly so as to inhibit wastage of water besides preventing damage around your kitchen sink environment.
Finishing Touches:
After cleaning, dry the mixer with a clean towel until no wet spots are left on its surface thereby maintaining its lustrous appearance without leaving any traces behind. You may also coat wax thinly or smear olive oil onto it which could protect coffee coloration due wetness while enhancing glaze properties
