CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHROME, BRUSHED NICKEL AND POLISHED NICKEL FINISHES

IMPORTANT: It is the customer's responsibility to check for any material finish defects BEFORE installation.

The best general maintenance is regular cleaning. Even though these finishes are considered durable, you CAN NEVER use any abrasive type cleaners, sponges, cloths or pads to clean the fixture. Always try to keep the finish clean and dry. Trapped moisture on the surface of the finish can lead to staining. Astringent cleaners, chlorine, bleach, along with acidic based organic cleansers are potentially harmful to these finishes.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE: Do not allow water spots to dry on the fixture. Keep the surface dry and clean after use. All products should be cleaned with a damp, clean, soft cloth and mild, nonabrasive soap to remove surface spots. Be gentle in your cleaning method. NEVER use cleaners that contain bleach, abrasives or vinegar. NEVER use any type of abrasive sponge or pad.
