Care & Maintenace
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your high-quality cabinetry pulls, knobs, cups, backing plates, and latches, proper care and maintenance are essential. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your hardware looking and functioning its best:
General Tips
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe hardware regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and dirt.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or solvents, as they can damage finishes and surfaces.
- Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, dry hardware with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or corrosion.
Specific Care for Different Materials
- Metal Hardware (Brass, Chrome, Nickel, etc.):
Clean with a mild soap solution or a dedicated metal cleaner. Polished finishes can be restored with a gentle metal polish if needed. - Glass or Crystal Knobs/Cups:
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild glass cleaner and dry immediately to prevent streaks.
Maintenance Tips
- Check for Looseness: Periodically inspect screws and mounting hardware. Tighten any loose screws to maintain stability and prevent damage.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: For latches or hardware with moving components, apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) if they become stiff or squeaky.
- Prevent Corrosion: Keep hardware dry and avoid exposure to excessive moisture or humidity, especially in bathrooms or outdoor settings.
Additional Recommendations
- Handle with Care: Handle hardware gently during installation and cleaning to avoid scratches or dents.
- Avoid Excess Force: Do not force handles or latches, as this may damage the hardware or mounting points.
