Frequently Asked Questions about faucets
Important things to know about kitchen & laundry faucets
BLANCO faucets are generally very easy to clean and maintain. Our faucets have premium finishes which resist dirt and grime, providing low maintenance care with simple cleaning products. Follow these easy steps:
- Use a soft clean cloth, water, and mild dish soap to remove any water marks or dirt. Make sure your soap is free from any abrasives / acids.
- Rinse the faucet thoroughly to remove soap residue.
- Dry the faucet thoroughly with a soft, clean, lint free cloth.
If your faucet has stubborn surface residue that can't easily be removed with mild soap and water, visit our faucet care page for deep cleaning tips & techniques.
The majority of our semi-professional faucets have a 360 degree swivel, but many non semi-pro faucet models have a swivel range anywhere between 100 - 190 degrees. Please refer to the faucet specifications on the faucet product page to find out the exact swivel for the model you're interested in.
