Kitchen Tap Maintenance: Tips to Prolong the Life of Your Kitchen Tapware
Taking good care of your Kitchen Tapware can help prolong their life and maintain their functionality and appearance. Each of Abey Australia’s Kitchen Tapware products come with care instructions on how to keep them looking their best. Here is a list of them:
1. Weekly Cleaning
Abey recommends that you clean your Kitchen Tapware weekly to prevent the buildup of deposits, soap scum and dirt. Use a mild soap and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe them down. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the finish.
2. Avoid any harsh chemicals
Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your Kitchen Tapware, as they can damage and scratch the finish. Stick to gentle cleaning solutions like mild soap and water and use a soft cloth.
3. Replace Washers and Seals
If you notice leaks or dripping from your Kitchen Tapware, replace the washers and seals as needed. This can prevent water waste and further damage. Abey Australia has parts, such as aerators, seals and washers available for the majority of our Kitchen Tapware.
4. Fix Leaks Promptly
Don’t ignore leaks. Even small leaks can waste a significant amount of water over time and can lead to more serious issues. Address leaks promptly by repairing or replacing faulty components. This includes the flexi hoses underneath your sink which join the tap with the hot and cold water outlets. Any fraying hoses can lead to the flexi hoses to burst and water damage to your kitchen.
5. Maintain Water Pressure
Ensure that your home’s water pressure is within the recommended range for your Kitchen Tapware. Excessively high-water pressure can put stress on your kitchen taps and plumbing, leading to premature wear and tear. Our Kitchen Tapware can operate to a maximum operating pressure of 500KPA.
6. Handle with Care
Be gentle when using your Kitchen Tapware. Don’t force handles or knobs, as this can lead to damage or wear over time. Be sure to give them a wipe down every day to retain their lustre.
7. Choose Abey Australia Kitchen Tapware
When installing or replacing your Kitchen Tapware, invest in a high-quality which has gone through all the necessary Australian approvals. They may cost more upfront but can save you money in the long run by lasting longer and requiring fewer repairs. Our Abey branded Kitchen Tapware includes internationally renowned brands such as Gessi, Amando Vicario and our very own Abey Gareth Ashton Collection.
8. Call your local Plumber
When in doubt, call your local Plumber. Plumbers have all the necessary tools and of course training to help troubleshoot and fix any repair issues you might have.
