If you can clean gold plates taps with baby wipes?.

I can't use normal bathroom cleaners because it would tarnish them so they can only be cleaned with soap and water, but a friend said she does hers with baby wipes but i wasn't sure?.

I don't see why not, but I would try cleaning the back of the tap or somewhere you can't see very well, and see the result!

Definately get unscented wipes though - Better to have the least amount of added chemicals as possible.

Gold plated anything is a PITA to maintain. You can't use anything chemical on them because it will eat off the gold plating.

I would stick to a non abrasive toothpaste and old soft toothbrush, then rinse with warm water and polish with a towel.

Those are the ones i've got. 100% fragrance a colour free


It's not too bad with warm soapy water but i thought a wet wipe would be easier?.
