2.      Maintenance

Proper care of your quality bathroom products should ensure many years of trouble-free operation.

2.1.     Chrome plated and high gloss surfaces should be regularly cleaned with a damp soft cloth. Mild liquid detergent or soap and water can also be used for stubborn dirt if necessary.

2.2.     Some water supplies may contain sediments, which can build up in Tapware aerators. It may be necessary to occasionally remove aerator and clean with a soft bristle toothbrush.

2.3.     Periodic lubrication of the Pop-Up wastes will assist with trouble free operation. Unscrew the cap and apply lubricant to the brass mechanism. Vaseline, Motor oil, Sewing Machine Oil, CRC or even olive oil are all suitable lubricants.

2.4.     Some areas such as beachside suburbs have a high airborne salt concentration. Regular cleaning of surfaces is essential to prevent corrosion.
