How to Keep Chrome Taps Clean with Kitchen Ingredients?

Here are some simple hacks for how to clean chrome bath taps at home in just 30 minutes by following any of these routines once a week.. 

1. Washing Up Liquid / Soap: Prepare a solution of warm water and a few drops of laundry detergent or less amount of soap. Then, dampen a soft cloth in the solution and lightly wipe down your taps.

2. Baby Oil: You can use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the taps by adding a few drops of baby oil to get dirt-free taps.

3. Vinegar: To cover the entire tap surface and for easy application you can use a spray bottle. While dealing with vinegar, make sure to use vinegar diluted in water mixed in equal amounts. Let the solution sit for a few minutes and then, wipe the taps with a microfiber cloth.

4. Lime Juice: If you notice any limescale build-up on your chrome taps which dulls its original shine, then lemon juice is the best ingredient. To remove the residues, you have to mix lime juice and water in equal parts. Then, use a microfiber cloth or a spray bottle to apply the solution and scrub using a toothbrush. Lastly, use fresh water to rinse the taps.
