Cleaning nickeled brass surfaces
This finish is achieved by nickel plating solid brass and it is a “living finish”.
Living Finishes have NO PROTECTIVE COATING so they can be scratched or scuffed if not cared for properly.
Oxidation that may appear over time on the nickel plated brass surfaces is a normal characteristic of this living
finish. Please follow the general cleaning guidelines to keep this finish close to its original hue and minimize the
appearance of use.
Cleaning power coated surfaces
Our electrostatic powder coating finish is what you see on all of the colored (painted) areas of our products, applied
at our factory by a standard process and heat cured in special kilns.
This finish is very durable and strong please follow the general cleaning guidelines to keep this finish close to its
original form and minimize the appearance of use.
Cleaning brushed stainless steel
Our high-quality brushed stainless steel is resistant to stains, rust and corrosion. Is made of ultra hi-gauge stainless steel
that is being brushed to provide you with the unique patina finish only found in our products. Although our products
are virtually indestructible, however scratches can occur.
Everyday maintenance is simple, by wiping it down with a damp cloth and soapy water. Never use abrasive pads
or chemical products.
Scratches
Scratches on stainless steel surfaces aren’t always bad. In fact, our brushed stainless steel finish is accomplished by
millions of little scratches. But in the event that you have a deep scratch that you want to care for, the surfaces can
always be re “brushed” using a hand held Orbital Sanding machine, with a 3M Maroon pad.

Stains and rust
Any rust that appears on stainless steel is the result of iron particles coming from external sources. If you want to
remove any rust stains from your products, use a cleaning agent containing oxalic acid. Always use mild, non-
abrasive cleaning agents to remove stubborn stains from your stainless steel and make sure you thoroughly rinse
away any cleaning liquids once finished cleaning your stainless steel.
NEVER USE:
Steel wool pads
Stainless steel cleaners
Bleaches containing hypochlorite
Silver dip cleaners
Leaving foods like citrus fruit juice, salt, vinegar, mustard, pickles and mayonnaise on your surface for prolonged
periods can cause pitting and corrosion.
