Maintenance Guidelines for Jaquar Product
Kindly follow the guidelines mentioned below to give you the best results and to maintain the finishes and longevity of the product.
- Clean the product with water-soaked soft towel or bathing soap solution once in a day or two to keep the plated surface clean and free from any deposits.
- Don’t use any type of cleaning/detergent agents which contain acids or chemicals such as flush cleaner, tile cleaner etc.
- Don’t use salt or vinegar-based cleaning agents to remove scale or scale-related stains. They may damage the surface or finish of products.
- Special color combination products should not be rubbed by Emery paper/cleaning powder. This can cause abrasion.
You need to protect your product from:
- Water Scaling: Due to presence of minerals and salt in water, scaling is formed on the product if it is not cleaned regularly. The products should be cleaned gently at regular intervals. Also, take extra care to clean the edges and corners of the products because these areas are more vulnerable for scale settling. Clean the aerators from time to time for a perfect foam flow of water from the fittings. The property of water being used is very important for your plumbing installations (Pipes etc.), as well as for your own hygiene. The hardness of water should not exceed 300-400ppm.
- Acid Fumes: When we clean the tiles or floors in the bathroom with cleaning agents which contain acids or chemicals, acid fumes are formed. Because the basic material used in the products is brass, brass being an alloy of copper reacts with these acid fumes. With this reaction, a green colour layer is formed on the products resulting in damage to the outer finish or coating.
- Scratching while cleaning: Scratching or scrubbing occurs due to hard nature of cloth or coarse cleaning powder being used for cleaning. Use a gentle fluffy soft cloth for cleaning the surface.
- Atmospheric conditions: This condition applies mostly to salt content in the air in coastal areas, sometime the air reacts with brass and black spots emerge on the surface of product. Therefore, the product is required to be cleaned regularly. At the time of installation of these products, cover the products with the cloth covers provided in packaging or with polythene till the time you actually start using them.
