During the first few days you use your faucet, a small amount of debris may be flushed out of your pipe system. This happens even though the plumber flushes the pipes before completing work on your home. In addition, particles of solder, copper chips, plumber's tape and other installation materials can get caught in aerators and showerheads. Occasionally, a chip might damage the valve seat that provides the watertight seal. The tips below will help you avoid problems. It's a good idea to follow these procedures each time the water has been turned off for repairs in your home.

Always blot dry any water from faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to build up of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth should help keep your product looking beautiful. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. Hard water stains may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.  Make certain that you rinse thoroughly with water afterward.

• Remove the aerator, soak it in vinegar overnight, then flush with water.
• For stubborn deposits, rub with a toothbrush.

We recommend cleaning your shower base with a non-abrasive and/or non-caustic cleaner to prevent scratching or dulling of the finish.

Acrylic Care and Maintenance
 
We recommend that you clean your acrylic bathing product made of Delta^® ProCrylic^® or Acrylic with Innovex^® Technology with non-abrasive soaps and cleaners such as:
 

There are two types of tub drain stoppers: lift & turn and toe tap.

Lift & Turn

The lift & turn stopper for the bathtub unscrews counterclockwise while in the "full up" position.

Toe Tap

The toe tap stopper also unscrews counterclockwise while in the "full up" position.  However, the cap may unscrew from the plunger assembly before the entire stopper comes out. In that case, there is a nut that will be exposed that can be used to unscrew the plunger assembly from the drain.

If a stopper does not lift straight out, it is being held in by the horizontal rod. Behind the drain pipe under the sink is a horizontal rod that is connected to the lift rod by a strap. The horizontal rod is held in place by a nut. Remove the nut and pull the horizontal rod straight away from the pipe about an inch. The stopper should now come free of the drain.

On Touch-Clean^® Shower Heads, we recommend you wipe the face of the shower head spray holes to loosen and break away deposits.
