Raw brass is lightly softened and mechanically polished. Intentionally left NATURAL, it will take on a patina over time and with use.
This is LIVING MATERIAL that has not received any protective treatment.
Depending on your desires, brass can be maintained in different ways, which is why we offer several techniques:
-> CHAMOISINE
If you want the room to develop its own character, you can occasionally use the impregnated fabric, Chamoisine ASTIC BRILLE.
• Simply rub dry and you will effortlessly achieve a beautiful effect!
All this without getting your hands dirty and very easy, for regular use.
This cotton chamois has been impregnated to clean, polish and maintain your objects.
Made in France.
100% cotton - 30x20cm
Non-toxic and hypoallergenic.
-> STEEL WOOL PAD #000
If an unsightly spot appears, or beauty spots are too present,
• Lightly rub the surface with 000 steel wool.
You can use this technique regularly, so the brass will gradually harmonize.
-> AVEL CREAM
Time has passed and you find that the brass is too patinated. From straw yellow to golden yellow, the brass has become brown.
You want to return to the original finish.
AVEL cream cleans, protects and shines brass.

TIPS AND PREPARATIONS BEFORE CLEANING:
We recommend unscrewing door knobs and handles.
The plates are fixed with small screws. As you assemble and disassemble, the holes in the door can become larger, preventing the screws from doing their job. Any disassembly must therefore be carried out with caution.
If the plates are not removed: we recommend protecting your door well (possibly by slipping a sheet of paper between the plate and the door) when using a cleaning cream or wax and the steel wool pad (especially if the door is made of raw wood, without paint or varnish).
We deliver with our objects a sample of impregnated fabric which will allow you to erase the traces which may appear during installation.
