How do I care for my Faucet Strommen tapware?

We suggest drying all fittings with a soft microfibre cloth after each use to prevent mineral build-up. Fittings can be cleaned using a soft clean microfibre cloth and warm water, or warm soapy water (mild pH-neutral liquid soap) and gently dried with a soft clean microfibre cloth.

 

·       Personal hygiene products (shampoo, toothpaste, shower gel etc.) can cause damage if left in contact with the finish, and therefore should be rinsed off immediately with clean water.

·       Under no circumstances should harsh cleaning chemicals be used that contain acid, caustic, citrus, bleach, abrasive components, or alcohol based substances. To prevent over-spray when cleaning other surfaces in the bathroom/kitchen we suggest covering your tapware with a cloth.

·       Do not use abrasive cloths, scouring pads, scrub sponges, steel wool etc. on your fittings.

 

Organic Finishes

 

The above guidelines can be used for general cleaning, however organic finishes will tarnish with time and use. Organic finishes include:

·       Raw Polished Copper

·       Raw Polished Brass

·       Raw Brushed Brass

·       Antique Brass Light

·       Antique Brass Medium

 

Many factors such as humidity, air salt content, moisture and natural oils from the skin will initiate and influence tarnishing, cleaning will not remove this. Tarnishing can progress quickly on these raw products. Tarnishing will never be even or consistent, so spots and lines might appear, and discolouration might occur. This is the beauty of these raw, living finishes.
