Aquanello Casa Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet, Black BL-1203-CS

✅ Daily Maintenance: Wipe dry with a soft microfibre cloth after every use. No products neede

✅ Cleaning Method: Use only warm water and a soft microfibre cloth. Press firmly, wipe gently

✅ Stubborn Spots: Use a very diluted water and vinegar solution (more water than vinegar), dry immediately 

✅ Aerator Care: Unscrew and clean the aerator separately when water flow reduces

❗ Cleaning Products: Almost every bathroom/kitchen cleaner will damage matte black. Only mild dish soap is safe

❗ Abrasive Materials: Never use scouring pads, rough cloths, or even the rough side of a sponge

❗ Excessive Force: Don't scrub. Gentle, regular wiping is far better than occasional hard scrubbing

❗ Metal Tools: If you need to tighten the tap, use a strap wrench (cloth-grip), not a metal wrench.

✅ 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.
