Looking after fittings in Dubai’s hard water
Simple habits that keep aerators, shower heads and glass free of limescale.
Clean little and often
Wipe taps and glass after use. Limescale is much easier to remove before it builds up into a crust.
Aerators and shower heads
Unscrew aerators every few months and soak them in diluted white vinegar. Many shower heads have rubber nozzles you can rub clean by hand.
Avoid harsh cleaners
Bleach and abrasive powders damage plated finishes. Use mild soap or a cleaner approved by the tap manufacturer.
