🔄 Step-by-Step Cleaning Methods

1. Chrome & Steel Fittings (Taps, Showerheads, Valves)

• Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle
  
  

• Spray the mixture onto the surface and let it sit for 10–15 minutes
  
  

• Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge
  
  

• Use an old toothbrush to scrub around edges and joints
  
  

• Rinse with warm water and dry with a microfiber cloth for a spotless finish
  
  

✅ Tip: Add a bit of baking soda for stubborn stains for gentle abrasion.

2. Limescale Removal from Showerheads

• Detach the showerhead (if possible)
  
  

• Soak in a bowl of white vinegar overnight
  
  

• Rinse and scrub with a toothbrush to remove loosened deposits
  
  

• If fixed, wrap the head with a vinegar-soaked cloth for 2 hours
  
  

3. Handles, Knobs, and Rods

• Wipe down with mild dish soap and warm water
  
  

• Disinfect with a vinegar-water solution
  
  

• For rust marks, apply lemon juice and scrub lightly
  
  

• Buff dry to avoid water spots
  
  

4. Ceramic or Plastic Fittings

• Use a non-abrasive cleaner
  
  

• Avoid bleach or acidic cleaners that can damage coatings
  
  

• Rinse thoroughly to avoid residue buildup
  
  

🌿 Eco-Friendly Alternatives

• Lemon + baking soda: Removes odor and shines metal
  
  

• Vinegar + essential oil: Natural disinfectant with a pleasant scent
  
  

• Reuse old toothbrushes: Great for reaching crevices and corners
  
  

🧼 Pro Tips for Maintenance

• Wipe down fittings daily to prevent buildup
