Maintenance Tips

• Daily wipe-down: Clean with mild soap + soft microfiber cloth, then dry to preserve the spot-free stainless steel & matte black finish.
• Avoid harsh cleaners: Do not use bleach, acids, abrasives, or polish—these can damage the finish and protective coating.
• Keep spray head clean: Wipe rubber nozzles regularly to prevent mineral buildup and maintain strong spray performance.
• Clean aerator periodically: Unscrew and rinse to remove sediment for consistent water flow.
• Flush occasionally: Run water through both stream and spray modes to clear internal debris and maintain smooth switching.
• Dry after use: Prevent water spots and maintain the “spot-free” look, especially around joints and spout.
• Check connections: Periodically inspect hose and handle area for leaks or loosening.
• Hard water care: In mineral-heavy water areas, increase wipe-dry frequency to avoid limescale buildup.
