Material 01Stainless Steel

Only the general cleaning guidelines are recommended for this finish.

In addition, clean stainless steel once a week with a stainless steel cleaner.Always apply stainless steel cleaner with a nonabrasive cloth, working with, not across the grain.

Material 02Leather

Leather will patinate with use and as it ages. For general dirt, dust, and food, please wipe with a damp cloth, mild soap solution (1 part soap to 12 parts water), wipe off excess water and allow to dry naturally. Never clean leather with abrasives or solvents.

Material 03Marble

All marble should be sealed with Miracle Sealants 511 Porous Plus after installation and periodically as needed. Clean the surface with a non abrasive, mild and PH neutral cleanser such as Miracle Sealant’s Tile and Stone Cleaner. Do not use bleach, acidic cleaners, ammonia, abrasive or soft paste cleaners, vinegar, alcohol, window cleaners or lemon juice. In addition, do not use abrasive cleaning pads, steel wool, metal brushes or scouring pads. For marble or stone counter tops, wipe up any remaining water off the deck of counter after use. Over time water can leave behind mineral deposits. When installing drains and fittings on marble counter tops only use 100% silicone or marble safe plumbers putty. The use of incorrect putty will result in stained marble and void the warranty. For a thorough understanding on specific care and cleaning options, please refer to the TCNA (Tile Council of North America) at www.tileusa.com and the MIA (Marble Institute of America) at www.marbleinstitute.com.

Cleaning

CLEANING 01Characteristics and care of living finishes

Many of the finishes sold by Alexander Marchant are LIVING finishes, with the exception of Chrome. These living finishes will naturally age, patina, and take on their own individual appearances as they are exposed to time, climate, environment, and handling. Unless sold as a PVD finish, it is the nature of the material to change over time.

CLEANING 02Burnished bath tub exterior

General cleaning guidelines are recommended for this exterior finish. For our Burnished tubs, it is also important to ensure the interior enamel surface and the exterior surface do not get chipped or scratched; this can result in the rusting of the cast iron and will void the warranty. If the tub will be stored for more than 30 days, it is recommended that the tub be stored in dry, ventilated conditions in temperatures not exceeding 95 degrees Fahrenheit or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

CLEANING 03Copper interior and exterior

Copper will patina with exposure to climate and use. The general cleaning guidelines are recommended, as well as the semi-annual wax routine, to keep this finish close to its original luster.

CLEANING 04Care of Furnishings

Copper will patina with exposure to climate and use. The general cleaning guidelines are recommended, as well as the semi-annual wax routine, to keep this finish close to its original luster.
