Wipe with a damp hand towel

Buff with dry end to get the shine finish you require."

"Try to use bleech and a rough sided sponged or rough cloth, anything that's rough to really make sure it cleans without any damages or scratches. Or use super fine steal wool"

"Use warm water and washing up liquid, it's one of the best cleaners due to the degreaser in it, and get a green scouring pad, preferably the harder ones and that should do it without damaging the taps, finish by polishing with a soft cloth"
