Wipe metal surfaces gently with a soft damp cloth; use a neutral liquid soap with water for daily cleaning. Rinse completely with water and dry off any residue with soft flannel cloth. Avoid abrasive materials such as scouring pads to clean surfaces. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

For unlacquered brass products, Brasso can be used to return products to original shine, removing the effects of age and natural tarnishing if desired. For polished nickel and chrome products, window cleaner or Peek Polish can be used sparingly to restore lustre. All other metal finishes, particularly aged finishes must be treated with caution, avoiding most cleaning products. A damp cloth for spot cleaning is best. A specialist metal cleaner may be used but test discretely before full application.
