7. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your RUITHOE faucet.

• Cleaning the Finish: Clean the brushed nickel finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Preventing Water Spots: The faucet features a plating layer designed to prevent fingerprints. To minimize water spots, especially in areas with hard water, wipe the spout and handle dry after each use. This also helps prevent mineral buildup in the waterfall spout.

• Drip-Free Performance: The faucet is equipped with drip-free ceramic spools. If you notice any dripping, ensure the handle is fully closed. Persistent dripping may indicate a need for cartridge inspection or replacement.
