Proper care will help maintain the finish and performance of your Moen Ronan faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.

- Drain Cleaning: Periodically clean the spring-loaded drain assembly to prevent buildup and ensure proper drainage.
