How to clean matte black faucets, shower systems, and other matte black bathroom finishings
Caring for matte black finishings like faucets, shower heads, tub soakers and trims on shower doors, can be a bit tricky, but with the right techniques, you can keep them looking sleek and stylish for a long time.
Here are some tips to help you care for your matte black finishings:
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools as they can scratch the surface of the finish.
- Instead, use a soft microfibre cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the surface.
- Do not use wax or any other product that has a glossy finish as it can alter the matte finish.
- Dry throughly after cleaning and after use (as much as possible).
- If you accidentally scratch the surface, you can use a touch-up paint to cover up the damage.
- Avoid exposing the matte black finishings to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods as it can cause fading or discoloration.
- Regularly dusting the surface with a soft cloth can help prevent the buildup of dirt and debris.
