Finish Care and Cleaning Instructions
Thank you for purchasing a fine decorative product from Brasstech. Our faucets and bath fittings are of the finest
quality and will provide years of worry-free use with proper care and maintenance.
General Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
• Always wipe your fixture down with a soft cloth after each use to prevent mineral build-up and water-spotting.
Should spotting occur, remove water spots with warm water and a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammoniated products, rubbing alcohol, detergents, astringents, bleach based
cleaners, aggressive chemicals, abrasive cleaning pads, or harsh polishes on the fixture. Use of such products
may void the warranty.
• Do not allow soap scum or toothpaste to build up on the product. These will gradually wear away the protective
coating and may diminish the beauty and durability of the finish.
• Brass ProTech (part# 98000) is exclusively made to clean, polish, and protect Newport Brass and Brasstech
products. Simply apply Brass ProTech with a soft cloth and let dry. Remove the polish by gently rubbing with a
soft dry cloth to a high luster.
In addition to the guidelines noted above, please adhere to the following finish specific recommendations.
Powder Coat Finishes
(Oil Rubbed Bronze-10B, White-50, Matte White-52, Gloss Black-54, Matte Black-56, Biscuit-65)
Powder coated color finishes DO NOT HAVE A PROTECTIVE COATING so they are susceptible to surface damage. If not
properly cared for these products can be scratched, scuffed, or chipped. If the exterior color coating is damaged or
compromised the underlying base material may tarnish and/or corrode. Use of abrasive cleaners or pads can remove or
dull the color coating and damage the finish. Periodically clean the fixture with mild liquid soap or by applying Brass
ProTech (98000) with a soft clean cloth to gently remove surface spots.
PVD Finishes
(Forever Brass-01, Satin Brass-04, Satin Bronze-10, Satin Nickel-15S, Stainless Steel-20, Polished Gold-24, French Gold-
24A)
The PVD, or Physical Vapor Deposition, process creates the most durable finish available on the market today. Although
these finishes are stain and tarnish resistant never use bleach or any abrasive cleaner, cloth, or pad to clean the product.
More specifically, avoid any and all cleaning products designed to remove tarnish or rust or any cleaning agent that
contains hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and/or phosphoric acid or caustic agents. Periodic cleaning can be done by applying
Brass ProTech (98000) with a soft clean cloth to gently remove surface spots.
