POWDER COAT IRON & STEEL (BLUSH & BLACK):

Care for me...
SOLID BRASS:
First & foremost...make sure you’ve purchased real brass! It’s hard to tell if what you’ve purchased is actually brass or not. The easiest way to check is to grab a magnet and see if it attaches to the object. If it DOES then it’s NOT brass but rather some other metallic finish.
For stubborn marks or stains apply Brasso and buff with soft microfibre cloth.
Apply Brasso to entire surface area and buff in circular motions.
Remove excess residue with a clean microfibre cloth until shiny.
NICKEL & PLATED BRASS:
Buff out finger prints and water spots with a dry, soft, clean cloth.
Do not apply any harsh abrasive cleaning agents.
POWDER COAT IRON:
Wipe down surface with a soft, clean, damp cloth.
Do not apply any harsh abrasive cleaning agents. Due to the nature of a matt surface or finish, some markings and scratches may be visible.
