FAQs

What is a single lever mixer tap?

A single lever mixer tap is a tap that uses one handle (lever) to control the flow and temperature of the water. Usually, adjusting the handle up or down controls the flow, and side to side controls the temperature.

How do single lever mixer taps work?

Single lever mixer taps use a cartridge inside the tap body which is controlled by how you use the handle. When adjusted up or down, the cartridge lifts or lowers to control the flow. And then when adjusted side to side, hot and cold water is mixed by aligning the holes within the cartridge that are connected to the hot and cold inlets.

Are single lever taps better?

It depends on your needs and preferences. Single lever taps are best for smaller or minimalist kitchens as they take up less room, and they’re ideal if you prefer having precise control of your flow and temperature of water.

What is the best way to remove smells from a kitchen sink?

Unpleasant odours coming from your sink are usually caused by a build-up of food waste in the sink waste pipe. To remove odours and clean your sink’s waste pipe, start by pouring bicarbonate of soda down the drain, followed by vinegar. Allow the mixture to fizz while you boil the kettle. After roughly 10 minutes, pour the boiling water down the drain to flush out the sink. 

How do you clean a kitchen sink drain?

To effectively clean your kitchen sink drain, start by cleaning the outside of the drain using a cloth and household disinfectant. For a deeper clean, you can turn off your water and disconnect your sink’s waste pipe, using a cloth to clean the underside of the drain.

How do you seal a kitchen sink to a countertop?

To seal a kitchen sink to your countertop, first secure the sink in place and attach any taps or pipes. Then use a silicone sealant to run a bead of silicone along the back edge of the sink. Smooth down the sealant for a secure, watertight finish.
