Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Moen Georgene faucet. The Spot Resist stainless finish is designed to minimize fingerprints and water spots, making cleaning easier.
Cleaning the Finish:
- For daily cleaning, simply wipe the faucet with a soft, damp cloth.
- For more stubborn spots, use a mild liquid dish soap and warm water. Apply with a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
Aerator Maintenance:
- If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator may need cleaning.
- Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout.
- Rinse any debris from the screen and internal components. For mineral deposits, soak in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
- Reassemble the aerator and screw it back onto the spout.
