When you want to just do a routine cleaning, it is very simple. Just use a few drops of a mild dish soap and some water. Mix these and then simply use a soft cloth to clean the base, handle and neck of the faucet. Use an old toothbrush to get in the nooks and crannies. If you have soap build up, try using a baking soda paste by mixing baking soda and water. Then rinse the surface with cold water. To not flood the area, dampen a clean cloth and wipe away the soap and gunk. Then dry the surface which will give it a nice shine.
