Maintaining Your Chrome Plated Floor Waste Grates
To preserve the quality and finish of your chrome plated brass floor waste grates, shower grates, and bath wastes, regular care and cleaning is essential.
🧼 Cleaning & Care Tips
-
Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers — these can damage the chrome surface.
-
Use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive metal cleaner to gently wipe the surface.
-
Clean regularly, especially in bathrooms that are used less frequently.
If neglected, the grates may begin to show:
-
A tarnished or rusted appearance
-
Small black spots, which can spread if not addressed
These marks are caused by bacterial spores attaching to the chrome surface. Fortunately, this growth is easily removed with proper cleaning. Once cleaned, the chrome finish will remain intact.
