How to clean brushed brass in your bathroom

You’ve come to the right place if you need advice on cleaning and upkeep for a new brushed brass tap, shower, or accessories. Here is a useful manual for caring for brushed brass at home.

Cleaning Brushed Brass

Your brushed brass bathroom accessories will look fantastic and last for years if you keep up with regular cleaning. What you need to know is as follows:

Clean Brass taps regularly

Make sure to wipe any soap residue and dirt away with a soft cloth after each usage to preserve the brushed brass’ brilliant shine. Limescale can be avoided by routinely wiping down your tap with a microfiber cloth dipped in warm water and dishwashing solutions.

To make sure you don’t forget, we suggest placing a cloth by the faucets so you can polish it as needed. Your brassware will stay in good condition if you regularly dry it out and avoid letting water get on it.

Thorough Cleaning

Similar to what was stated previously, warm soapy water is needed to maintain the coating on your tap. For deep cleaning, you can also use a 75/25 solution of lemon juice and water. Always use a soft cloth to clean and make sure that this isn’t left to soak for longer than a few minutes before rinsing.

Strong Cleaning agents

It’s important to avoid using strong cleaning agents like vinegar and bleach on faucets with specific finishes like matte black, chrome, or brushed brass. Aside from tarnishing the surface, harsh chemicals may damage the condition of the material and plating.

Use only soft materials

Because brushed brass is such a fragile material, it is easy to scratch. The best way for cleaning brass is to use soft clean cloths rather than brushes or scouring pads, which could harm the metal and leave unpleasant, permanent stains.

Unlacquered Brass

Unlacquered brass is slightly different from the traditional brushed brass material; it is produced without a coating to expose it to the elements and create a “living” appearance. It has a more rustic, tarnished feel. This makes it a fantastic option for commercial kitchens and bathrooms.

Cleaning Unlacquered Brass

Unlacquered brass requires very little maintenance because the rustic finish looks best when it is allowed to oxidise naturally. Unlacquered brass can be regularly cleaned by wiping it down with a soft cloth dampened with dish soap. If necessary, a paper towel can be used to buff the brass.

Unlacquered brass can be kept polished by rubbing a small bit of brass polish over the surface to keep it looking as good as the day you got it!
