Wednesday Wish List: Trough Faucet
As part of our vanity makeover in the downstairs bathroom, we installed this fountain faucet over the glass vessel sink:
However, over the months of use, we’ve ran into one problem. Water stains. After we turn the tap off, the few remaining drips have left an indelible stain on the glass. We’ve tried a bunch of things to remove the offending marks, but to little avail (glass cleaner, lime-away, magic eraser). So recently, I’ve been looking into alternatives. I really like the waterfall effect of the existing faucet, so I wanted to find one that mimicked that effect Just minus the glass.
I’m lovin’ this trough faucet by Pfister.
The open faucet creates this cool waterfall effect. At 8.25 inches, the spout is high enough to sit above the raised vessel sink. Plus, it is a single-hole configuration which matches the existing faucet, so swapping them out would be a breeze. The faucet comes in a range of finishes – chrome and brushed nickel being the most popular. So, unless I can find a way to get rid of the water stains on the existing faucet, this baby might be coming home with me.
Have you guys got any fab tips for getting rid of water stains?

What about toothpaste? You have to use paste, not the gel and put it on dry, rub it in, let it sit just a minute, and then rinse it off?
I have no idea if this would really work, but it’s worth a shot.
See you Sunday for the painting party

try using rain-x windshield treatment after you clean it to keep it from getting worse
