For owners and crews
Care and spare parts
Fresh water, soft cloths, neutral products and attention to small signs: that is how faucets made for the sea last for decades.
The routine on board
Three moments, a few rules
- 01
During the season
- After every day at sea, rinse outdoor showers and deck faucets with fresh water.
- Dry with a microfibre cloth to avoid marks and standing water.
- Indoors, a weekly clean with lukewarm water and neutral soap is enough, then dry.
- 02
At the end of a cruise
- Thoroughly rinse all outdoor fittings with fresh water.
- Remove the aerators and soak them in water with diluted white vinegar.
- Visually check seals and joints; ventilate the bathrooms.
- 03
When laying up
- Drain the water system so frost does not damage cartridges and internal parts.
- Close pop-up showers clean and dry, with the housing free of salt and sand.
- On satin steel, a light protective coat with specific products before the months of rest.
Finish by finish
Every surface has its own gesture
- AISI 316 steel
- Specific steel products that clean and leave an invisible protective film: two or three times a season.
- Satin and brushed
- Clean following the direction of the brushing, never in circles.
- PVD and RAL paint
- Only water, neutral soap and a soft cloth: any abrasive or acidic product leaves permanent damage.
- Chrome and electroplated
- Fresh water, neutral soap and microfibre; always dry to leave no salt or limescale deposits.

To avoid
The five most common mistakes
- Aggressive cleaners: acid descalers, bleach, ammonia, chlorine.
- Abrasive sponges and scourers, which scratch polished and satin surfaces.
- Forgetting outdoor showers, the most exposed.
- Ignoring a drip, a stiff handle, a trace of oxidation.
- Leaving cleaning to the end of the season: salt works for months.
When to replace: through-corrosion or deep pitting, leaks that return even after replacing seals and cartridges, play in handles or swivel heads, widespread damage to the finish.
