How to Clean Faucets and Make Them Look Like New

Faucets are one of the most frequently used items in your home, but they’re also one of the easiest to overlook when cleaning. Over time, they collect water spots, soap scum, mineral buildup, and even mold, leaving them dull and grimy. The good news? With a few simple household ingredients and a little elbow grease, you can make your faucets shine like new again—no harsh chemicals required!

Here’s the ultimate guide to cleaning faucets the right way—and keeping them sparkling for the long haul.


🧼 What You’ll Need:

  • White vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Lemon or lemon juice (optional)
  • Dish soap
  • An old toothbrush or soft-bristle brush
  • Microfiber cloth or soft rag
  • Zip-top plastic bag (for deep cleaning)
  • Rubber bands

🚿 Step-by-Step: How to Clean Faucets Like a Pro


1. Start with a Quick Wipe-Down

Before getting into deep cleaning, use a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap to wipe away surface dirt, fingerprints, and soap scum.


2. Tackle Water Spots and Mineral Buildup

Hard water stains? Vinegar to the rescue. Soak a cloth or paper towel in white vinegar and wrap it around the faucet for 10–15 minutes. For stubborn buildup on the spout or aerator, fill a zip-top bag with vinegar, attach it to the faucet with a rubber band, and let it sit.

After soaking, use a toothbrush to gently scrub away loosened deposits. Rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.


3. Remove Gunk from Tight Spots

Use a toothbrush to scrub around crevices—like the base of the faucet, behind handles, and around the aerator (the mesh tip). You can dip the brush in a mix of baking soda and water for extra scrubbing power.
