How often - in the bathroom or in the kitchen - have we struggled to keep the faucets clean and in good condition? It is certainly a problem that many people face but fail to find an effective solution for.
Faucets are objects that we use every day and, over time, it is normal for them to show signs of wear and tear - but which is certainly not pleasant to see. Keeping faucets in good condition is important for various reasons and this is what this article will address.

If you you like seeing (and using) dirty bathroom and kitchen faucets, you'll be glad to know that there are some remedies for this problem. And acting in a timely manner to keep them clean will prevent you from having to call out a plumber later.
This article will show you how to prevent faucets from getting dirty or damaged. The method is cheap and simple and uses an "unexpected" product. Cleaning faucets with chemical and aggressive products often risks damaging them, stripping them of their shiny surface materials. It is essential not to let water or soap residue settle on the faucets after use, as this could lead to the development of hard-to-remove limescale or rust build-ups. So, what is the product that can help us keep our faucets clean and shiny? The answer is: shaving cream.

Have you ever considered cleaning the faucets with shaving cream? If you answered "no", give it a try - the results are sure to surprise you.
So, how is it done? It's very simple: first of all you need to get some shaving foam. Many already have this at home, but it's cheap and easy to find in shops. Once you get it, put some on a dry cloth or a piece of paper. Then, all you have to do is rub the foam over faucets, especially where they are dirty and filth-encrusted, and then rinse everything off with hot water.
Simple, right? With this process, the faucets will shine again, and without using potentially damaging products. Shaving foam is a great cleaning ally, and not expensive at all. And, if you also want to take care of the ends of the faucets (ie. where the water comes out and where large quantities of limescale are typically deposited), you just need to disassemble the parts, immerse them in white vinegar for a few hours and they'll be as good as new again.
So what are you waiting for? It's time to take care of your faucets!
