How to remove the dark circle around the faucets

Once the stains are gone, rinse the area with warm water to remove any leftover cleaning solution. Then, wipe down the faucet and surrounding sink area with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and streaks.

For an added touch, buff the faucet with a dry cloth to restore its shine and prevent future buildup.

5. For Mold and Mildew: Use Hydrogen Peroxide

If the dark ring is caused by mold or mildew, it’s best to use hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide has powerful antifungal and antibacterial properties that help kill mold and mildew at the source.

• Apply 3% hydrogen peroxide directly to the affected area around the faucet.
• Let it sit for 10 minutes to disinfect and break down the mold.
• Scrub away with your toothbrush, then rinse and wipe the area dry.

🧼 Preventing Dark Circles Around Faucets

Now that your faucet area is clean and bright, here are a few tips to keep it looking that way:

1. Dry the Sink After Use: After each use, wipe down the faucet and sink to prevent water from pooling and leaving stains. This is especially helpful in areas with hard water.
2. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down your faucets at least once a week using a soft cloth and a small amount of dish soap. This keeps grime from building up and helps prevent the dark circles from reappearing.
3. Install a Water Softener: If you live in an area with hard water, consider installing a water softener to reduce mineral buildup around faucets and sinks.
4. Use a Vinegar Solution Monthly: To prevent hard water stains from forming, periodically clean your faucets with a mixture of vinegar and water to break down minerals before they settle.
