About Your Finish
ese nishes are considered Living Finishes and have NO PROTECTIVE COATINGS on them. Living nishes are nishes that
have a very shallow patina on their surface. Essentially, the nish is what nature would do to the surface over a long period of time.
e nishes are intended to change with time and generally darken slightly where they are not being touched, and highlight where
the high use points are on the xture. Hand oils, soaps, and acidic uids and cleaners can damage the nish.
ese nishes are not durable, and are easily scratched or scued. Any type of astringent cleaner or any type of abrasive cleanser, pad,
cloth or sponge will damage the nish. To help keep the surface on the xture from oxidizing in the packaging, Waterstone initially
applies a wax to the nish surface to help protect and prevent the nish from exposure to air and oxidizing prior to installation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
It is the responsibility of the customer to check for any material nish defects before installation.
Waterstone does not warranty these nishes aer the xture has been installed.
Suggested Finish Maintenance Procedures
1. Do not allow water spots to dry on the xture. Keep the nish surface clean and dry aer use.
2. Periodic cleaning can be done by using a micro-crystalline wax (we recommend Renaissance Wax).
Apply the wax with a so non abrasive tissue paper, and gently bu the wax with a so clean cloth
to help remove surface spots and add a protective coating the nish.
3. Never use cleaners with abrasives, so scrub, Clorox, any type of abrasive pad or sponge.
