How to Clean Chrome Safely and Naturally


Shine chrome taps and fixtures with undiluted white vinegar. It is ideal for removing streaks from stainless steel taps and appliances. Apply the vinegar with a clean microfibre cloth and buff dry to a high gloss finish. Undiluted vodka is also an excellent option, rub directly on to chrome fittings and fixtures, allow to dry, and buff with a clean, dry microfibre cloth for a beautiful, polished and germ-free finish.

Note: As with all cleaning products, keep vodka sprays and solutions out of reach of children and animals due to the alcohol content.

Toothpaste is also a quick fix to make chrome taps, door handles and door knobs sparkle. Place a good squeeze of toothpaste onto a clean cloth and rub over the surface of the tap or handle, leave for a minute before buffing to a high shine.

Or for badly stained fittings try making up the Chrome, copper and stainless steel cleaner recipe. The addition of the salt in this recipe lends a slightly abrasive texture, yet the solution remains gentle enough not to scratch.

The Vodka soda glass and surface cleaner is also excellent for effortless everyday cleaning of chrome taps and fixings.
