Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Glacier Bay faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the stainless steel finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
