Over time bathroom faucet knobs crack or age poorly, and the caps loosen and fall off the knobs, creating a space to collect dust and pathogens. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions to help you replace the knobs and caps from the bathroom faucet, maintaining the area free of danger and bacteria. This guide is easy to follow, with no special skills necessary. We have used the “Danco Faucet Remodeling Kit for Delta.”
