Want Shiny Taps?

September 12, 2025

Try This Simple Buffing Trick

If your bathroom or washroom taps are looking a bit dull, spotted, or just not as fresh as they should, don’t worry — you don’t need fancy products to bring back the shine. All it takes is a simple tool: the humble microfibre cloth.

Why Microfibre Cloths Are Game-Changers

Microfibre is made of ultra-fine fibres that grab dirt, fingerprints, and water spots without scratching delicate surfaces. They’re especially effective on chrome, stainless steel, and brushed nickel — making them perfect for taps, fixtures, and washroom fittings.

How to Buff Your Fixtures

  1. Wipe Down First – Remove soap scum or grime with a damp cloth or gentle cleaner.
  2. Dry Thoroughly – Use a towel to get rid of water droplets (this helps prevent streaks).
  3. Buff With Microfibre – Using a clean, dry cloth, buff the fixture in small circular motions. You’ll see an instant shine.
  4. Keep It Up Weekly – A quick polish once a week keeps fixtures looking spotless and prevents long-term build-up.


Bonus Tip

For an extra sparkle, spray a little white vinegar or rubbing alcohol onto your microfibre cloth before buffing. Avoid harsh chemicals though — they can damage the finish over time.

Where Else It Works

This quick trick isn’t just for taps. Try it on:

  • Shower heads
  • Chrome door handles
  • Soap dispensers
  • Stainless steel bins


The Result

With just one cloth and a few seconds, you can instantly elevate the look of your bathrooms — whether at home, in the office, or in a busy facility.

Most people stay on top of the weekly basics — a vacuum here, a quick wipe there, maybe a mop if things are looking rough. But there’s one routine that often gets pushed aside: seasonal deep cleaning. From the dust behind the fridge to the grime inside window tracks, some messes need more than a surface wipe. Ignori

Let’s be honest — cleaning blinds isn’t anyone’s favourite chore. Dust flies everywhere, traditional dusters just push it around, and wiping each slat individually feels like a workout. But there’s a clever little hack that makes the job simple and strangely satisfying: the sock trick.

Think about it — your phone goes everywhere with you. Shopping, public transport, the office, even the bathroom (don’t worry, we all do it). No wonder it’s one of the germiest things you own. But before you reach for the spray-and-wipe, it’s worth knowing the right way to clean it without ruining your device.

When you think of cleaning the bathroom, what comes to mind? Probably the mirror, the sink, and of course, the toilet bowl. But the dirtiest and most forgotten spot? It’s hiding right behind the toilet.

When it comes to cleaning, most of us stay on top of the lounge, kitchen, and hallways. But the closet? That little space is easy to forget. Out of sight, out of mind — right? Not quite. Your closet floor is actually a magnet for dust, lint, and allergens. Giving it a quick weekly vacuum can make a world of difference.
