| Help! My polished nickel fixtures are spotting and I don't want to use the wrong cleaner. What do you use? Less important are my satin nickel fixtures, do you use a different cleaner on them?
My polished nickel fixtures are hansgrohe. I hope I can get these spots off! |

| My bath fixtures are all polished nickel and I just use a soft damp warm microfiber cloth to rub off the water spots. I've heard that oxygen bleach (Oxyclean) or citric acid-based products like Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami, are actually pretty hard on nickel finishes and should be avoided. |

| Pick up Faucet Brite and BrassTech online, and see which works better for you. Recommended by manufacturer. |

| My nickel faucet manufacturer recommended these two products: Flitz Facet Wax+ (seems like a very "eco" product made with Carnuba and Beeswax) LE SX de Gagnon's SX I purchases both on amazon.com. They both seem to put a thin coat on the nickel to keep it from spotting. I prefer the FLITZ. I haven't had much trouble with spotting on my polished nickel fixtures, installed now for about 10 months. |

| For regular cleaning/maintenance, I either use water and a cloth, or Seventh Generation bathroom cleaner. For the once or twice a year polishing, the stuff in the red tube at William Sonoma. What is that? Wenol I think.... |

| Flitz is what we've used for years. Keeps them perfect. |

| A wax will not remove the tarnishing that is already there, however. |
