REGULAR CLEANING FOR LASTING SHINE:

Cobra recommends simple yet effective methods for cleaning of our products. Regular use of a soft cloth, dry or soapy, is sufficient for most cleaning needs. For a more thorough cleaning, regular Sunlight dishwashing liquid is advised to keep your chrome fixtures sparkling. The frequency of cleaning depends on usage; for heavily used fixtures like daily-used showers, a weekly cleaning routine is recommended to prevent lime buildup. A regular wipedown of the basin mixer tap will also contribute significantly to maintaining its appearance and functionality.

THE RIGHT CLEANING AGENTS FOR COBRA PRODUCTS:

The longevity of your fixtures is greatly influenced by the cleaning agents used. It’s crucial to avoid cleaning detergents containing ammonia, as they can damage the chrome surface. Stick to mild cleaners such as Sunlight dishwashing liquid to ensure your fixtures retain their beautiful condition for years. This simple choice can make a significant difference in preserving the finish and function of your taps and sanitaryware.

IDENTIFYING AND FIXING LEAKS:

Leaks can be a common issue, but they’re often easy to spot and fix. Dripping water from the spout or outlet is a clear indication that your kitchen or bathroom tap washer or mixer cartridge may need replacing. Many homeowners, even those with little plumbing knowledge, can replace these parts. However, if you’re uncertain, it’s always recommended to consult the professionals. Remember, as a Cobra client, you have access to a dedicated service team at Cobra TeamAssist who are on call to provide pre-and post-installation support.

WHEN TO REPLACE WASHERS AND SEALS:

The durability of Cobra bathroom taps means they often require minimal maintenance. However, in areas with poor water quality or where fixtures are heavily used, the seat washer may need regular attention. Cobra suggests that most taps will operate perfectly for years without maintenance, but keeping an eye on the wear and tear of washers and seals is considered good practice.

DIY MAINTENANCE VS. PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE:

Cobra taps believes in empowering homeowners with maintenance know-how. Tasks like replacing tap washers, cartridges, and cleaning strainers can be comfortably handled at home. More complex tasks, such as replacing the pressure control valve or TP valve, should be left to professional plumbers.

SEASONAL CHECKS FOR COBRA PRODUCTS:

Cobra bathroom taps and products are designed to withstand varying climatic conditions. There are no specific seasonal maintenance recommendations for South African climates, underscoring the robustness and adaptability of Cobra bathroom fixtures.

‌In summary, maintaining your Cobra bathroom and kitchen fixtures shouldn’t have to be a daunting task. With the right cleaning approach, simple DIY maintenance, and occasional professional assistance, you can ensure that your bathroom’s taps and fixtures not only function flawlessly but also add to the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom and home.

Remember, regular care is the key to preserving the elegance and functionality of your Cobra bathroom taps and fixtures, making them ready to impress not just this festive season but all year round.
