So now I am 😳 eyes wide open on this topic. We just had a “Brushed Gold bathroom faucet installed about a month ago. It now has white calcium deposits on it. Of course I am freaking out because I can’t get it off with soap and water. And i’m not allowed to clean it with anything else or I will ruin it completely. I’m now thinking I made a huge mistake in choosing this faucet finish. After watching this video, I wish I got the “Venetian bronze” oil rubbed bronze. We had that before and I don’t remember having this problem with that faucet. I may try to soak it in vinegar + water. Not sure how to soak an installed faucet in vinegar without sitting there and spraying it over and over again. But I guess we will see. 6:46 - Polished Copper - from sigma faucets, is a powder coated finish, which means it’s not going to tarnish, fade, Patina overtime). 6:47 - Satin Copper - from sigma faucets, is a powder coated finish, which means it’s not going to tarnish, fade, or patina overtime). 6:48 - Antique Copper - from sigma faucets, is a powder coated finish, which means it’s not going to tarnish, fade, or patina overtime). 7:17 - HOW TO MAINTAIN THESE FINISHES OVER TIME: 1. Vinegar & Water - a 50/50 mixture gets rid of most water spots. 2. Bar Keepers Friend - If you need something a little more impactful. It looks like comet, but it’s in a gold can. Doesn’t have any bleach in it and is less chemically abrasive. 3. Flitz Faucet Wax - will not tarnish or fade a living finish like a “Roll Tuscan Bronze”. Thank you for doing this video!
The quick answer is there are several different types of Black finishes as well as several different types of stainless finishes. I will go into more detail and you’ll get a shout out for sure.
What about black faucets: my thinking was easy to match with cabinet hardware. Are these stay looking good? Or, if you have moisturizer on your hands, do these look terrible?
I bought a 4 year old house and the polished chrome bathroom hardware had been badly marred because previous owner has been using an abrasive scouring pad to clean the faucets. So, I vote NO on barkeepers friend or any other cleaner that uses abrasives. I don’t know how messy people let their sink areas get, but it just seems like overkill to scrub/scour your faucet and put scratches on them. In my experience, you just need a microfiber cloth and a high quality ph balanced cleaning liquid solution and your faucets will be immaculate like the day you bought them. Worst case scenario hard water stains can usually be removed with a magic eraser sponge.

Thank you for doing this video!
What is the best material for anti-corrosion? Our area is known for salty water and steel faucet corrodes easily...
I was hoping you talked about gold. I’m remodeling my master bath and the fixtures are gold.
What’s the best finish for hard water???
Probably a satin nickel. However, you might want to install a carbon filter. Or if you're a fan of a patina, true bronze would be great!
this was a great informative video!!
Ahhh you redoing your house Ti? 🥰
This was very helpful. Thanks so much.
No talk about matte black finish
Hope this helps

Which finish do you suggest with well water (hard) - doing a bathroom makeover and need a finish that will last - thank you!
How about black matte finish?!
this video was very helpful
Thanks for the help.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Will the Venetian bronze finish tarnish or turn green in the long term?
It will not. It is a PVD warrantied finish.
Your thoughts on black matte finish for battery
I don’t understand the question. 🤔 do you mean bathroom?
Would this be filmed at RSSA in Anaheim by chance?
Yes indeed.
I am looking for antique brass kitchen faucet. Where can I find that?
I hope this answer helps you out. th-cam.com/video/ishM670Ec68/w-d-xo.html
