Best Practices For Cleaning Brass Faucets

Brass faucets offer beauty to any kitchen or bathroom, but with time, they can tarnish. It’s crucial to frequently clean them in order to keep them looking their best.

To clean brass faucets so they’re as good as new, you can follow these steps:

  1. Gather your supplies. Warm water, a soft microfiber cloth, and mild dish soap are required. You might also require a commercial brass cleaning if your faucet is severely tarnished.
  2. Clean out the faucet. Any loose dirt or debris can be eliminated in this way.
  3. Apply the cleaning solution. Apply a commercial brass cleaner according to the instructions on the bottle. Simply combine a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water in a bowl if you’re using that. The microfiber cloth should be damp but not dripping wet after being dipped into the cleaning solution.
  4. Wipe down the faucet. Use the microfiber cloth to gently wipe the faucet, being sure to concentrate on any particularly tarnished areas.
  5. Re-rinse the faucet. This will get rid of any leftover cleaning agents.
  6. Wipe the faucet dry. Buff the faucet dry with a fresh microfiber cloth until it is shiny and streak-free.
