Maintenance Tips for Your Brass & Copper Kitchen Faucets
Your handcrafted kitchen faucet is an investment in both style and function. Whether you chose solid brass or warm copper, proper maintenance keeps it looking showroom‑new. Here are six expert tips from Gift From Morocco.
1. Daily Wipe‑Down
Use a soft microfiber cloth and warm water to remove fingerprints and soap residue. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
2. Gentle Cleaning Solutions
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water for a mild, eco‑friendly cleaner. Dampen a cloth, wipe gently, then rinse and dry.
3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Stay away from bleach, ammonia, or abrasive scrubbers. These can erode finishes and dull the metal.
4. Monthly Polishing (Optional)
If you love a brighter shine, apply a small amount of brass or copper polish. Buff with a clean cloth and wipe away any residue.
5. Addressing Patina
For those who appreciate aging, let patina develop naturally. To even out spots, lightly rub with a soft cloth—no chemicals needed.
6. Check & Tighten Fittings
Every few months, inspect under‑sink connections for leaks. Hand‑tighten any loose nuts and reapply plumber’s tape if needed.
