BRASS FIXTURES

Brass fixtures are factory treated with a clear protective coating, electrostatically applied, to provide beauty and durability.

Brass, like sterling silver, will gradually tarnish and eventually take on an antique appearance. Atmospheric conditions, direct sunlight, caustic agents such as paints, or scratches from contact with sharp objects may cause the protective coating to crack or peel, exposing the natural brass and resulting in spotting and discoloration.

 Initial care for these products requires only periodic cleaning with mild non-abrasive soap and buffing with a soft cloth. When peeling, spotting or discoloration occurs, you can restore the beauty of the metal by completely removing the remaining coating and hand polishing the item with a suitable brass polish. Applying a light coat of wax and buffing with a soft cloth will renew and maintain the gloss of the brass surface. If discoloration reappears, repeat the cleaning, polishing and waxing process.
