Care and Cleaning Guide for akuaplus® Products

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your akuaplus® products, it is essential to maintain them regularly using methods appropriate for each type of finish. Here are our recommendations for effective and material-friendly cleaning.

1. General Maintenance

• Clean your faucets, showers, and accessories with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
• Dry immediately with a clean cloth to prevent water spots and extend the lifespan of the finishes.
• Prevent residue buildup by cleaning your products regularly after each use.

2. Recommended Cleaning Products

• Use gentle cleaners without abrasive agents or aggressive acids.
• For natural descaling, apply a solution of warm water and diluted white vinegar, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
• For stubborn stains, a paste made from baking soda and water can be applied locally before rinsing thoroughly.

⚠️ Avoid: Harsh chemical cleaners, ammonia, alcohol, bleach-based products, and abrasive pads that can scratch the surface.

3. Care by Finish Type

Metal Finishes (Chrome, Brushed Stainless Steel, Brushed Champagne Gold, Brushed Nickel)

• Clean with a soft cloth and soapy water to maintain the shine of the metal.
• Avoid acidic products that can damage the finish.
• For persistent stains, use a metal surface-specific cleaner and dry thoroughly after rinsing.

Matte Black Finish

• Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with warm water and mild soap.
• Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Do not rub vigorously to avoid altering the matte texture.

Bamboo Finish

• Regularly dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
