How to Clean Touchless Sensor Faucet?
Cleaning a touchless sensor faucet is not only essential for its aesthetics but also for its functionality
and hygiene. To start, gather necessary supplies: a soft cloth or sponge, mild dish soap or a gentle
bathroom cleaner, white vinegar, toothbrush or soft-bristle brush, and paper towels. Begin by turning
off faucet if it has an on/off handle to prevent any accidental water flow during the cleaning process.
Then, remove any loose debris or dirt from the faucet's surface using a soft cloth or sponge. Next,
mix small amount of mild dish soap or a bathroom cleaner with warm water. Dip the cloth or sponge
into soapy water mixture and gently scrub the faucet's surface. Pay close attention to areas around
the sensor and any crevices where grime might accumulate. Afterward, rinse the cloth or sponge
thoroughly and wipe down the faucet again to ensure no soap residue remains.
For a more thorough cleaning of the sensor area, use a toothbrush or soft-bristle brush. Be careful not
to apply excessive pressure to avoid damaging sensor. If you encounter stains or buildup on the sensor,
wet toothbrush with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Gently scrub the sensor area and
rinse with clean water. If your faucet has an aerator, follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove it
and clean it separately. Soak the aerator in a vinegar and water solution to remove any mineral deposits
or debris. After cleaning, use a dry paper towel or a clean, dry cloth to thoroughly wipe down faucet and
sensor area, ensuring there is no moisture left behind. If your touchless faucet is powered by batteries
or an electrical connection, restore power as necessary.
Before using the faucet again, test the sensor by waving your hand in front of it to check
if it activates the water flow. Regularly perform this cleaning routine, ideally once a month
or as needed, to prevent the buildup of grime and maintain the faucet's functionality.
