Avoid “The 4 Finish Killers”

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Avoid the 4 “finish killers”:
• Avoid industrial cleaners and abrasive cleaners, such as those used for toilet bowls, green Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol Basin Tub, Soft Scrub, and Tile Cleaner.
• Avoid products that state on the label that they remove tarnish and rust, and those containing hydrofluoric, hydrochloric and/or phosphoric acids and caustic agents.
• Avoid harsh abrasives or polishes
• Avoid bleach-based cleaners

How can you get the maximum life from your fixtures?

Friday, April 27th, 2012

Most manufacturers recommend the following just like the following description from Delta Faucets.
• Always blot dry any water from faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to build up of mineral deposits.
• To keep your product looking beautiful, clean with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth.
• To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth.
• Hard water stains may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Make certain that you rinse thoroughly with water afterward.

In our experience, we have found that all of our finishes may be cleaned with the following household cleaners. Make sure you read the manufacturers instructions for use:
• Formula 409
• Antibacterial All Purpose Cleaner,
• Fantastik
• All Purpose Cleaner,
• Windex Original Glass Cleaner

If you have a question on your cleaning product and how it can work better for you, email us at info@jdplummbingcompany.com —- or call us at (919) 383-7000 —

Hopefully this will answer any questions and help preserve those very expensive fixtures.

Can your faucets last forever? Who can you trust?

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

Just ask the customer that replaced this flush valve after someone stole it.

Let’s face it: people will do some strange things….

Who would do this? A plumber? Who else would do such a thing? Be careful who you trust in your home by:

Action #1: Making sure the company you called shows up in a truck with their name on it.
Action #2: Making sure you are using a licensed plumber.
Action #3: Making sure the company you hire does background checks on all their employees.
