How can I shine my bathroom taps?

Question

The people that lived here before us took the shine right off the taps, they are all spotty and short of buying new taps I can't get the shine back?

Hi Pamela if scrubbing etc doesn't work you might consider repainting them. Rustoleum has a whole like of spray paint specific for fixtures then you could have them in any finish you like!

Cheryl A · Answer

if they have worn finish on them you could paint them with a special paint for faucets - to shine them make sure they are dry then add a drop of lemon oil on a soft rag and shine them up

If they removed the shine, you might be hard pressed to get it back. Replacing the knobs is easy and generally pretty inexpensive, probably less so than buying all sorts of cleaners and your time.
