Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your HOIGY faucet, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the oil rubbed bronze finish.
- Finish Protection: The oil rubbed bronze finish is designed to be non-peeling and anti-rust. Gently wipe away water spots to maintain its appearance. The finish is also designed to be fingerprint resistant.
- Ceramic Cartridge: The built-in ceramic cartridge is tested for 500,000 opening and closing cycles to prevent leaks. If you experience persistent dripping, consult a professional plumber.
- Pop-Up Drain: Periodically check the pop-up drain for debris and clean as needed to ensure proper function.
