Useful information

• Cleaning

  Never use detergents, abrasives, solvents, chemicals, products containing muriatic acid, ammonia, acetone, bleach, household acids, various disinfectants, rough and/or metal scouring pads and/or sponges that may irremediably spoil the product surface. We recommend cleaning the product surface every day by wiping it using exclusively a soft cloth and water. Take care to dry immediately any drops or water build-ups since they may lead to the formation of lime scale deposits that could be difficult to remove at a later time.

  Articles in stainless steel

  Fir Italia taps and shower heads in stainless steel AISI 316L ensure long lasting durability. However, products are subjected to constant stress with daily use and therefore daily care and specific treatments are essential to preserve the beauty of steel surfaces. In particular, we strongly recommend drying any drops or water build-ups on the product thoroughly with a soft cloth.

  Do not leave wet cloths or sponges on steel to prevent the formation of unsightly water stains. Do not leave iron tools in contact with steel surfaces, as doing so may cause corrosion by contact. Do not use abrasive sponges or steel wool that may scratch surfaces. Never for any reason use detergents containing chlorine or its compounds (bleach, muriatic acid, descaling solvent, etc.) as doing so could corrode the composition of steel, irreparably staining or oxidising surface. It is generally best not to leave opened packets or bottles of detergent or other chemical acid composition products in the vicinity of steel taps: the fumes may in some cases oxidise and corrode the steel.

• Maintenance

  We recommend their frequent use (at least once every 5 days), to prevent the formation of limestone. A very sporadic use, in fact, favors limestone sedimentation, and the subsequent occurrence of malfunctions and abnormal water spurts.

• Installation

  We recommend that you check the hardness of the water, as well as the condition of the hydraulic systems: if the percentage of limestone presence were to be particularly high, we recommend the installation of a sand filter and/or poly-phosphate filter (water softening system). In the same manner, in case of iron pipes or extremely dated ones and in bad conditions, we recommend, where possible, the replacement of the very system: the pipes, in fact, could release iron slag, which would corrode and jeopardize operation of the internal components of the articles. In such cases, as illustrated in the specific section, the warranty expires.
