How to correctly clean shower heads and handsets? It’s simple: remove limescale, prevent damage

Cleaning shower heads and components is essential for maintaining performance and ensuring an optimal water flow. Proper cleaning not only removes limescale and other deposits but also helps prevent damage.

Here are a few practical rules to follow when cleaning:

• Only soft, clean cloths – do not use abrasive accessories such as scouring sponges or microfibre cloths
• Avoid using steam cleaners – high temperatures may damage the shower
• Use only mild cleaning agents – e.g., citric-acid based
• Avoid strong cleaners containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid, sodium hypochlorite or acetic acid. Cleaners based on phosphoric acid are acceptable only under certain conditions
• Never mix cleaning agents
• Apply the cleaner directly to a soft cloth and wipe the surface. Avoid applying cleaners directly onto the surface to prolong the life of the coating
• At the end, thoroughly rinse the shower components with clean water

Shiny kitchen taps – how to keep your kitchen clean and gleaming.

To protect the high-quality surfaces of Rea kitchen taps from heat, cold, fats and acids, take care of them regularly. Systematic, proper maintenance will help avoid potential damage from limescale deposits. We recommend that you:

• Avoid cleaning taps with aggressive agents; in particular, avoid chlorine-based bleaches, formic, acetic and hydrochloric acids, as well as abrasive cleaning materials
• Citric-acid-based products or other gentle detergents work best for cleaning
• Do not spray cleaners directly on the tap; apply the product to a soft, smooth cloth. After wiping the tap, wait a moment and then rinse with water
• Finish by wiping the tap dry with a soft cloth to achieve a gleaming effect

Rea kitchen taps, both in stainless steel and in brushed-steel finishes, are durable and easy to care for.

Limescale-free tap and aerator in 5 steps – here’s how!

• Step 1: Wipe the bathroom tap with a soft cotton cloth; for heavier soiling you can moisten it with water. Most dirt comes off easily. Under no circumstances should abrasive sponges or other brushes be used.
• Step 2: Limescale most often accumulates in corners and joints. To prevent this, we recommend gentle citric-acid-based cleaners. Remember to apply the concentrate directly to the cloth. Then remove the deposits by rubbing.
• Step 3: Rinse the tap thoroughly with clean water.
• Step 4: Repeat step one to remove any remaining cleaner and restore a glossy shine.
• Step 5: If the water flow is weaker than at the beginning, limescale has built up on the aerator. Unscrew it and place it for a moment in warm water with a small amount of cleaner. After cleaning the aerator, dry it and screw it back in.

Anti-calc: Convenient removal of limescale and dirt with a single swipe of a finger.

Limescale deposits are a problem not only for shower performance but also make nozzle cleaning difficult. Thanks to the anti-calc system, removing deposits becomes simpler. Most of our shower systems and handsets feature an Anti-Calc system that allows easy removal of limescale by rubbing with a finger or gently wiping with a cloth.

The anti-calc system in showers offers many benefits to users. It lets you enjoy a clean, uninterrupted water stream while extending the service life of your shower. It’s an investment that brings comfort, enjoyment and saves time spent removing limescale deposits.

Regular, proper cleaning of your fittings will extend their service life and keep them looking good for longer.
