How to care for handles?

Maintenance

All products should be cleaned and periodically maintained. Clean with water mixed with a mild detergent using a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, vinegar, or citric acid. Please remember that brass and copper products should always be dried thoroughly. Their surface will gradually change color and appearance over time due to oxidation and patina formation. Brushed surfaces should not be cleaned with abrasive polishing agents, as there is a risk of them becoming shiny.

HOW TO USE PUTS Brushed surfaces should not be cleaned with polishing abrasives, as there is a risk of them becoming shiny. PUTS is made 100% from natural ingredients and is suitable for both polished and brushed surfaces. Apply a small amount of PUTS to a damp cloth and gently rub the product until all stains disappear. Rinse off excess with lukewarm water and dry thoroughly with a cotton cloth as quickly and completely as possible. Fingernails and skin may turn white when in contact with PUTS. Wear gloves when applying the cleaner!

IS YOUR POLISHED PRODUCT LOSING ITS APPEARANCE?

To properly care for polished products, you can purchase special polishes available at hardware and specialty stores. We recommend following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. If using polish, remove the handle/knob from the wall or drawer before cleaning, as some polishes/creams can turn black. Apply a small amount of polishing cream to a dry cloth and polish thoroughly in the same direction. Once the surface is smooth and shiny, wipe off excess cream with a clean, soft cloth.
