How to Keep Polished Chrome Faucets From Water Damage

Keeping chrome from water damage can be challenging, especially if you live in an area with hard water or the faucet is in constant use. There are, however, some simple cleaning solutions that will result in a spotless and long-lasting faucet. One of the most effective is to use car wax. Car wax seals the chrome to protect it from water damage and leaves the faucet shining.
