Care and Maintenance

Electroplate and PVD fittings

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your Rubinetti fittings, it is crucial to provide them with proper care. Follow these guidelines to maintain their premium materials and lustrous finish:

1. Immediate Cleaning After each use, promptly clean the fittings to remove any residue left by liquid soap, shampoo, shower gel, or toothpaste. This prevents the buildup of harmful deposits.

2. Avoid Harsh Cleaning Agents Do not use cleaning agents that contain caustics, abrasives, citrus acid, bleach, vinegar, or alcohol ingredients. These substances can damage the surface of the fittings. Opt for mild liquid soap and warm water instead.

3. Gentle Cleaning Techniques Use a soft cloth or microfiber cloth for cleaning to prevent surface damage. Avoid abrasive materials such as scouring pads. Refrain from using cologne and nail polish remover, as they can harm the finish.

4. Protection against Salt Spray and Chlorine Keep the tapware and fittings away from environments exposed to salt spray and chlorine. These elements can cause damage to the decorative finishes.

5. Regular Maintenance for Aerators and Shower Heads Clean aerators and shower heads every six months to remove impurities that can accumulate from the water supply. This helps maintain their optimal performance.

Remember that these highly decorative finishes require respect and care to preserve their condition. By adhering to these guidelines, you can enjoy the beauty and durability of your Rubinetti fittings for many years to come.

 

Baths

To keep your bathtub looking its best and ensure its longevity, follow these care and cleaning guidelines:

1. Regular Cleaning
Clean the bathtub regularly to prevent the buildup of soap scum, dirt, and grime. Wipe down the tub after each use with a soft cloth or sponge to remove any residue.

2. Use Mild Cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners specifically formulated for bathroom surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or products containing bleach, ammonia, or citrus ingredients as they can damage the material.

3. Avoid Scratching
Use only soft cloths or non-abrasive sponges for cleaning. Avoid abrasive brushes, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaning tools that can scratch or dull the surface.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Do not use strong solvents, acetone, or abrasive cleaners on bathtubs, as they can cause damage. Stick to gentle cleaning solutions.

5. Stain Prevention
Promptly clean any spills or stains to prevent them from setting. Avoid leaving items such as hair dye, colored liquids, or strong chemicals in contact with the surface for an extended period.

6. Avoid Heavy Impact
Take care to avoid dropping heavy objects or tools onto the surface, as they can cause chips, cracks, or scratches. Use caution when handling sharp objects near the tub.

7. Rinse Thoroughly
After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the bathtub with clean water to remove any cleaning solution residue. Residual cleaner left on the surface can leave streaks or dull the finish.

8. Dry the Surface
After each use and cleaning session, dry the surface with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and mineral deposits from forming. This helps maintain the appearance of the bathtub.

9. Avoid Waxing or Polishing
Avoid using wax or polishing products on bathtubs, as they can leave a slippery residue and potentially damage the surface.
