General Care

Brodware fittings are made from premium materials and the lustrous finish should be treated with care. We recommend that they are immediately washed of any residue left by liquid soap, shampoo, shower gel or toothpaste after use.
Do not use harsh cleaning agents containing caustics, abrasive, citrus acidic, bleach, vinegar or alcohol ingredients. Do not use abrasive cloths, scouring pads etc. or the surface will become damaged. Protect against cologne and nail polish remover. Use of harsh cleaning agents will void warranty for the item.
Salt spray and chlorine can cause damage to decorative finishes. Avoid locating the tapware and fittings in environments exposed to such elements.
Due to impurities in most water supplies, regular cleaning of aerators and shower heads is recommended at six-month intervals.

Organic Finishes*

Organic Finishes come with no protective coating. They are delicate and can easily be scratched or scuffed if not cared for properly. The unique characteristic of these organic finishes is that they wear and patina over time dependent on climate, exposure and use. Essentially, the finish replicates what nature would do to the surface material naturally when exposed to the elements. These products will generally tend to darken on the areas that are infrequently touched and lighten or highlight on the areas that are contacted on a consistent basis. Acidic fluids and astringent cleaners can damage the finish. Avoid using abrasive pads, sponges, or cloths to clean the product. Brodware recommend waxing organic finishes 5 or 6 times a year by using a micro-crystalline wax (Renaissance Wax is recommended). Apply the wax with a soft tissue or cloth and gently buff the wax with a soft clean cloth to remove surface spots. Applying a wax will slow down the oxidising or aging of the finish. Polished Brass and Stainless Steel will regain its shine by polishing with Brasso™ or Autosol™.
