Shiny Chrome

Just had to share this little cleaning tidbit I saw on television the other night, American Restoration to be exact.

Do you have chrome sink fixtures that have built up “yuck”? Hard water marks, years of soap scum build up or a combination of both? Because we rent our homes, many times we walk into a place that has been taken care with less care than what we would use. Not saying we are neat freaks and we do tend to have a lot of clutter that is interesting to us around our home. Clutter aside, we do try to keep a clean home, which is not always what we walk into when we move.

The other night American Restoration shared this cool tip for cleaning chrome. All you need is a piece of aluminum foil and a little water. Of course we had to try this.

We crumpled up some aluminum foil into a sort of cleaning ball and started working on the kitchen faucet. Amazing! After almost 2 years of scrubbing and cleaning with various household cleaners and varying degrees of success, we now have chrome bath and kitchen fixtures that are shiny bright and look like new.

Thank you Rick Dale, owner of Rick’s Restoration, Las Vegas, Nevada.
