Maintenance Tips

• Wipe daily with a soft microfiber cloth + mild soap to keep the solid brass finish clean and prevent water spotting or dulling.
• Avoid harsh chemicals (bleach, vinegar, acids, abrasives)—they can damage the chrome/brushed nickel coating and internal components.
• Dry after each use to reduce limescale buildup on spout, handles, and deck surface.
• Descale regularly (especially in hard water areas) to maintain smooth flow from both tub spout and hand shower.
• Clean hand shower nozzles gently using a soft brush or soak in mild descaler to prevent clogging.
• Switch diverter occasionally (spout ↔ handheld) to keep internal valve moving smoothly and avoid stiffness.
• Check deck mount fittings and hoses periodically for leaks or loosening due to vibration or frequent use.
• Operate lever handle gently to protect the ceramic cartridge and ensure long-term smooth control.
• Ensure proper ventilation in bathroom to reduce humidity exposure and extend finish life.
