It has been reported that iron pans, humidifiers, faucets and other household items will form a thick layer of dirt after long-term use, which not only affects the appearance of the product, but also breeds bacteria and even causes cancer. Let’s take a look at the hazards of faucet dirt together, and then understand the relevant precautions for cleaning and maintaining the faucet.
Introduction to the dirt of the faucet
Waterworks extract surface water or groundwater, then add water purifiers to precipitate impurities in the water, then filter out smaller impurities, add disinfectants and send them to households through water pipelines. Water in nature will contain various carbonates, and the hardness of water will vary with the treatment process of water plants in different regions and the distance of transportation pipelines. When the water passes through the pipeline, the carbonate in the water will form scale through continuous deposition.
The hazards of faucet dirt
Experiments have shown that when scale enters the stomach in the form of solid precipitates, it will be decomposed into calcium and magnesium particles under the action of gastric acid. As long as it meets the national standards, even if there is some scale in the boiled tap water, you can drink it with confidence. In daily life, the scale in the faucet and kettle still needs to be cleaned regularly.
The dirt on the surface of the faucet is generally composed of dust, oil stains, rust, scale and other pollutants. Too much dirt accumulation will affect the service life and appearance of the faucet. The rough interior of the faucet will increase the possibility of scale formation and it is difficult to clean. In order to reduce the accumulation of scale inside the faucet, when choosing a faucet, choose a product that is glazed both inside and outside.
Water rust will also appear on faucets and water pipes after a long time of use. No matter whether they are made of stainless steel or not, a certain amount of water rust will be produced during use. It is recommended to buy better quality faucets.
Faucet cleaning
The electroplated surface can be scrubbed with boiling water and detergent, or directly cleaned with some strong degreasing and decontaminating cleaning products. The scale and rust on the faucet can be wiped with a damp cloth or sponge dipped in a little special detergent, and then wiped dry with a clean rag or rinsed with water. Dip in toothpaste with a soft-bristled toothbrush or gently wipe with a scouring pad dipped in toothpaste to remove scale and oil and make the surface of the faucet clean and bright.
It should be noted that do not wipe with hard objects such as steel wool, the steel wool is very hard, and it is easy to scratch the surface of the faucet. It is best to use a neutral detergent for cleaning, and a strong acid-base detergent is not suitable for cleaning with a tap. After the head is cleaned, the remaining moisture on the surface should be wiped dry with a dry lint-free towel to avoid scale formation.
Faucet maintenance
Do not use too much force when turning on and off the faucet at ordinary times, but turn it gently according to the trend, and do not need a lot of force to screw it to death. The faucet should try not to collide with hard objects, and do not leave cement, glue, etc. on the surface, so as not to damage the luster of the surface coating.
The temperature and humidity in spring, summer, autumn and winter are always different, so people will have some changes in clothing. Although the faucet does not need to dress, it does not mean that it will not be affected by temperature and humidity. When we find the handle of the faucet When the hand feel is different from the previous one, we should scald the handle with hot water and start using it after the hand feel returns to normal, otherwise it will affect the life of the faucet spool and cause harm to the faucet.
Most of my friends will remember to clean the faucet every day, but some friends do use steel wool or a scouring pad with hard particles on the surface to wipe it. This operation is easy to cause damage to the surface of our faucet. Although it does not constitute a major problem, it still affects its appearance in general. After a long time, it will destroy the protective layer on the surface of the faucet and cause corrosion.
Sometimes we may find that the water in the faucet is not as big as before. At this time, there are two main reasons. The first point is that the water pressure is too small. If this possibility is ruled out, then it must be because there is a certain If there are impurities, we must remove the faucet plug net cover to clean it, and then install it after cleaning
