Homemade Chrome Cleaner Recipe

Here is how to make homemade chrome cleaner for your bathroom faucets.


Chrome is actually a mirrorlike finish treatment that covers another metal underneath. It is often used on bathroom faucets because it does not tarnish or corrode.

However, the metal underneath the chrome can corrode, so if you ever develop pockmarks on your chrome faucets do not break the mark, which will only worsen the problem.

While chrome does not, itself, tarnish or corrode typically, it does get dirty, especially where water and dirty hands touch the handles of the faucets.

To clean it frugally and naturally, all you need to do is combine 4 teaspoons of baking soda with 2 quarts of warm water.

Just combine these ingredients in a spray bottle and shake vigorously to mix.

Then, just clean the chrome in your bathroom with this mixture using a clean cloth. You may also want to use a q-tip to clean in the hard to reach portions of your faucets.

When finished cleaning wipe down the chrome with a damp cloth to remove the solution and buff the chrome until it shines.

It's that simple.

Along with cleaning chrome, there are times when just buffing it doesn't completely get rid of fingerprints, or make it as shiny as you'd like. That's why in addition to this cleaning recipe I've got an extremely easy polish recipe below.
