5. Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your hansgrohe faucet.
5.1. Cleaning the Faucet Surface
- Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the Stainless Steel Optic finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
5.2. Cleaning the Spray Head Screen
Over time, mineral deposits or debris can accumulate in the spray head screen, affecting water flow. To clean the screen:
- Unscrew the spray head from the pull-down hose.
- Carefully remove the small screen or aerator from inside the spray head.
- Rinse the screen under running water to remove any debris. For stubborn deposits, soak in a vinegar solution.
- Reinsert the clean screen and screw the spray head back onto the hose, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks.
