✅ Daily Wipe-Down: Dry with a soft cloth after every use. Coloured finishes show water marks easily

✅ Regular Cleaning: Clean with mild dish soap and warm water on a soft microfibre cloth 

✅ Light Buildup: Use a 75/25 lemon juice and water solution, buff gently, rinse immediately

✅ Preserve the Finish: Regular light cleaning prevents the only real enemy: hard water mineral buildup

❗ Abrasive Tools: Avoid scouring pads, steel wool, rough sponges, and abrasive powders

❗ Harsh Chemicals: Don't use bleach, ammonia, acidic cleaners, or aggressive descalers

❗ Soaking: Never let any cleaning solution sit on the finish. Apply, wipe, rinse, done

 ❗ Metal-on-Metal Contact: Don't bang pots or utensils against the tap. Sharp impacts can chip the coating

✅ Daily Wipe-Down: Wipe with a soft damp cloth after each use and dry thoroughly. Water spots show easily on brass.

✅ Weekly Cleaning: Clean with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth. The natural antibacterial properties help, but regular cleaning keeps the golden finish bright.

✅ Limescale Removal: Use a soft cloth with a citric acid based cleaner. Rinse and dry immediately.

✅ Preserve the Shine: Apply a thin layer of wax (car wax or furniture wax) occasionally to protect the finish and slow natural patina.

❗ Harsh Chemicals: Don't use bleach, ammonia, chlorine, or aggressive descalers. They damage the brass surface.

❗ Abrasive Materials: Avoid scouring pads, steel wool, and abrasive cleaners. They scratch the golden finish.

❗ Prolonged Moisture: Don't let water pool around the base of the tap. Standing moisture accelerates tarnishing.

❗ Acidic Substances: Don't let vinegar, lemon juice, or acidic cleaners sit on the surface. Apply, wipe, rinse quickly.

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition and this results in a coating that is much stronger than galvanised chrome, for example, and yet shines just as beautifully. Another not insignificant advantage of PVD coatings is that they are relatively environmentally friendly. To apply the coating, a liquid metal is vaporised in a vacuum environment. This means that the process requires less high temperatures. The vaporised metal is then applied to the product in one or more layers. These layers are wafer-thin so that the design of the product is not affected by the top layer.

PVD coatings are not only applied to taps, but to all kinds of metal objects that are used intensively and still require a beautiful colour. Think, for example, of cutlery, door fittings and even watches.

Advantages of PVD:

• solid coating;
• resistant to most cleaning agents;
• does not oxidise;
• shiny, wafer-thin top layer;
• scratch-resistant;
• environmentally friendly.

Disadvantages of PVD:

• it is a bit more expensive;
• the colour options are (for the time being) somewhat more limited.
