How can I clean the brass frame?
Our brass products have a living finish and will naturally tarnish over time. To clean and restore their shine, we recommend using Flitz orBrassoproducts.
How Can I Prevent Handprints During Installation?
The brass we use for our products is solid, live metal, which means it will naturally develop a patina over time. This patina process enhances the beautiful tones in the metal, giving it a unique, aged appearance. However, if the brass is touched with bare skin too soon, fingerprints and oil marks can transfer to the surface, detracting from its natural look.
How to Protect Your Brass Products:
To prevent fingerprints and oil marks from affecting your brass products, follow these steps:
• Wear Gloves: Use nitrile or latex gloves when handling and installing your brass items.
• Avoid Bare Skin Contact: Refrain from touching the brass with bare skin for the first two weeks after installation. This allows the brass to oxidize properly, creating a protective layer that shields it from skin oils.
By taking these precautions, you can ensure your brass products maintain their intended appearance and develop a beautiful, natural patina.
