How to clean a tap. 4 tips on how to clean chrome taps

This is what makes chrome taps dull

Chrome is beautiful. It makes the bathroom just that little bit more beautiful. The downside of chrome is that it quickly becomes dull. It also damages easily, because it is very soft. That is a great shame, because dull chrome removes the shine from your bathroom and other rooms.

Chrome becomes dull with scale or dirt. Scale on chrome comes from using water. It cannot be avoided, but it can be solved.

Dirt on chrome consists of bits of bath products or skin flakes. That cannot be avoided either, but it is easy to solve by cleaning your chrome taps and tap heads. You enjoy a shiny surface again.
