Cleaning Delta and Brizo Gold Tones

5 years ago

My new kitchen and bath have Delta Champagne Bronze and Brizo Luxe Gold fixtures. And OMG the fingerprints and water spots!!!! I had no idea - in all the discussions of these finishes on Houzz I’ve never seen this mentioned. Has anyone got suggestions on how to keep them looking decent? Is there a polishing cloth or anything they can be wiped down with after use? This is going to drive me crazy. Thanks 😊.

    I'm glad that you are posting this, it really hasn't come up on anything I have read. I have Brizo in Brilliance Stainless finish and it's very easy to keep looking good.

    Our designer mentioned Faucet Brite too to generally help keep all faucets looking their best.

    I noticed the same problem. Did you figure out how to keep it clean? Hate the spots.

    I found that a dry microfiber cloth did a great job of removing the spots. I just got in the habit of wiping the faucet down with the cloth a few times a day and it helped a lot.

    I'm very unhappy with my Delta Trinsic Champagne Bronze faucets - I got them for the master bath and kitchen sink - they are always spotted it seems - I can get them fairly clean, but there now seem to be some spots that can't be removed. I would never purchase these again.

    I’ve got the Brizo Luxe Gold in one of our bathrooms and I can’t clean off any of the white mineral deposits. I’ve tried vinegar, and the company also recommended Bar Keepers Friend Foaming cleaner. Nada. I’m beyond disappointed and sad. Cheap, plain old chrome fixtures would be easier to keep looking nice. I’m now looking at either having filthy looking fixtures, or risking the finish altogether with a harsher cleaner. They are cleaned weekly with soap and water, but it’s unrealistic to expect people (especially young men) to wipe down and dry every shower fixture every time they shower, especially if you can’t reach the shower head, etc. If I can’t keep them clean with basic care, then they aren’t worth a penny.

    fardm, the problem isn't your faucet color, but your water quality. Sounds like you need a whole house filtration/softening system to reduce/eliminate the mineral deposits.

    I agree with all of you. I clean my shower very regularly and my Delta Champaign bronze got so bad that the spots could not be removed. I called them and they replaced the shower pieces, except the shower head. I thought it was just Delta have a bad finish, but that's a bummer if the expensive Brizo pieces do the same. I'm going to try the Faucet Brite since we've been given a second chance. Before I called, I tried every cleaner mentioned above and then some. It's disappointing when they are so expensive.

    @rsk178 Did you try the Faucet Brite and did it work for you? I am finding the water spots hard to get off as well....

    The manufacturers of my Waterstone faucet emphatically told me to ONLY use Flitz on my faucet. I'm going to try it on my newly-installed Brizo Lux Gold shower heads here in Kona, HI where the water quality is s#%t
