To ensure taps and fittings remain resistant to wear and tear and the passage of time, Tres Grifería's R&D Department has developed a specific cleaner for these parts.
Tres Cleaner is the only product tested and approved by Tres to clean and care for tapware finishes, keeping them in mint condition and avoiding abrasion, limescale or loss of finish. It is perfect for polishing surfaces, removing fingerprints, repelling dirt, removing limescale and preventing static build-up.
Tres Cleaner acts on all types of shiny and metallic surfaces without damaging them, something that often happens with abrasive cleaning products. Our product is specially designed for chrome, stainless steel, brass and gold-plated surfaces in both matte and shiny finishes. Any of the 19 finishes included in Tres' catalogue will stay intact longer and have a longer service life thanks to regular care using Tres Cleaner.
Very easy application
The cleaner works by spraying the area to be cleaned, leaving it on briefly, rinsing with warm water and drying with a soft cloth.
The bottle has two nozzle positions for more efficient cleaning. With the nozzle open, the liquid can be sprayed over larger areas and is even suitable for cleaning tiled walls or partitions. With the nozzle closed, the active cleaning foam works much better and deeper on dirtier, more difficult to reach areas, such as tap aerators.
Our tapware cleaning range is complemented by a telescopic handle for cleaning shower heads and screens. Tres’ cleaning spray and telescopic handle come in packs of different quantities.
Which products damage taps and fittings?
The most common finish for brass taps and fittings is electroplated chrome plating, which is a combination of nickel and chrome layers. One of its most important, highly valued chemical properties when subjected to environmental conditions is that it protects itself by creating a pore-free, highly resistant layer or film.
Although chrome plating is very resistant to corrosion, it can still be damaged by certain abrasive cleaning agents, for example, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, ammonia and bleach, which cause premature deterioration of materials when applied directly to the surface of taps and fittings, not to the forget the damage caused simply by the vapours themselves when these chemical products are used near tapwear. Highly toxic and abrasive products like caustic soda, benzene, turpentine, acetone and alcohol should also be kept well away from taps and fittings.
When water evaporates, especially if it is very hard, it leaves crystallised particles on the chrome-plated surfaces of taps and fittings, damaging their coating or staining it with rust, which is why it is advisable to clean the surfaces regularly to avoid limescale build-up. The use of scouring pads, which scratch the surface, should always be avoided.
Tres Cleaner, the ideal product to guarantee your taps and fittings stand the test of time.
