How to Make Dull Faucets Look Like New

By Lesia

Cleaning the faucet is essential for its proper functioning, but also for aesthetic reasons. Over time, the accumulation of limescale and minerals can make the faucet dull and full of white spots.

Although there are many chemical products to clean the faucet, it is better to adopt natural solutions that do not pose any risk to our health and the environment and that are at the same time capable of disinfecting and making a dull faucet shine.


For the first tip to clean a dull faucet , we suggest you just need a little flour and a clean cloth.

Clean the faucet with a dry cloth to remove surface dirt, then sprinkle a little flour over the entire surface and leave it to act for 10 minutes.

Finally, with another dry cloth, clean well until all traces of limescale are removed. Your faucet will be so clean and shiny.

The second tip is perhaps the best known, and consists of rubbing a lemon cut in half directly on the metal part of the faucet.

In addition to being a good disinfectant, lemon is very effective against limescale. Once finished, rinse the faucet with warm water and dry it carefully with a clean cloth.

The third and final tip for cleaning the faucet is the most complete, because it allows you to clean the aerator well and therefore facilitate the flow of water.

Start by unscrewing the aerator and place it in a glass. Pour a little vinegar and baking soda and wait for the end of the effervescent reaction, then use a toothbrush to clean it carefully, rinse it and dry it.

Then sprinkle a little baking soda on the faucet and pour a little vinegar on it. After two minutes, scrub well with a toothbrush and finally use a clean cloth to remove the residue and dry.
