Maintenance and Care

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Moen Laris faucet.

• Cleaning the Finish: To maintain the chrome finish, clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout and clean any debris or mineral buildup. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
• General Care: Wipe down the faucet regularly to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
