Here are a few concise options, progressively shorter while preserving core meaning:

Material determines life: Which surface treatment is the most durable? 

According to the market research in 2025, the durability ranking of faucet surface technology is as follows:

• Stainless steel (304 food grade)

1. Advantages: lead-free, corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant, suitable for families with high health requirements. Surface technology recommendation: original steel brushing or electroplating, wear-resistant and fingerprint-free.
2. Applicable scenarios: high-frequency use of kitchens, especially in environments exposed to acid or oil.

• Copper alloy (H59/H62 copper)

1. Advantages: self-antibacterial and strong plasticity. But it should be noted that the lead content is ≤1.8% (national standard).
2. Surface technology: multi-layer electroplating > baking varnish, the latter is easy to lose paint.

💢Pit-avoiding materials
1. Zinc alloy: easy to crack, releases heavy metals, lifespan of less than 2 years.
2. Black coating: although popular, it shows scale and has a high cleaning cost.

Professional advice: In 2025, the high-end market will be dominated by gun gray brushed stainless steel, balancing durability and beauty.

 Lordear's Elite Steel series, such as H-SLC2402, uses 304 stainless steel + gravity ball pull-out design, which is the first choice for durability.

 Daily cleaning: 3 steps to solve scale and oil stains

• Surface cleaning

1. Method: soft cloth + neutral detergent (such as detergent), avoid using steel wool. Use toothpaste + a soft brush for stubborn oil stains.
2. Frequency: 1-2 times a week to prevent water stains from depositing.

• Deep descaling

1. Aerator/nozzle: Soak in white vinegar for 15 minutes after removal, rinse with clean water to solve the problem of water bifurcation.
2. Valve core lubrication: If the switch is stuck, apply special grease, such as silicone grease.

• Special material maintenance

1. Black water coating: Gently wipe with a nano sponge to avoid acidic detergents.
2. Brushed stainless steel: Wipe along the texture direction to prevent scratches.

Maintenance of internal core components: Prevent water leakage and weak water output

• Valve core maintenance

1. Ceramic valve core: Check the aging of the sealing ring every 2 years and replace the O-ring.
2. Roller valve core: Directly eliminated! Easy to leak, and the water output decays quickly.

• Pull-out faucet hose

1. Gravity ball type: Regularly check whether the ball card slot is loose.
2. Hose storage: Do not coil! Keep it naturally stretched to prevent cracking.

Seasonal deep maintenance: Extend life twice a year

• Moisture-proof in summer

1. Check the joints between the faucet and the countertop and apply mildew-proof glass glue.

• Winter antifreeze

1. After the outdoor water pipe is emptied, turn on the faucet to keep it dripping to prevent the valve core from freezing and cracking.

⚠️ Choose brands carefully: low-priced zinc alloy faucets are easy to corrode, and the cost of repair is higher than replacement.

Conclusion: The core of maintenance is "prevention > maintenance." Regular cleaning + valve core maintenance + material selection can extend the life of kitchen faucets by more than 10 years!
