6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your APPASO faucet.

6.1 Cleaning the Faucet

• Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
• Wipe the faucet dry after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.

6.2 Cleaning the Aerator

• If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may need cleaning.
• Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout.
• Rinse any debris from the aerator screen under running water. For stubborn mineral deposits, soak the aerator in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
• Reattach the aerator to the spout, ensuring it is securely tightened.
