Cleaning Instructions
Rinse away any traces of soap and gently dry with a clean, soft cloth after each use. Rinse completely with water and dry
any overspray. This will maintain the finish and avoid water spotting.
To remove mineral deposits, use a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Do not allow the solution to soak on the
product.
Simichrome Polish® contains a protective film to enhance maintenance and is helpful in preventing water spot buildup.
Follow instructions to ensure optimum results.
Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean the surface. The use of abrasive cleaners,
cleansers or disinfectants will alter the surface finish and void the warranty.
Do not allow certain materials such as toothpaste, cologne, shaving cream, nail polish remover, vinegar, wine, drain and
glass cleaners to remain on the surface. Prolonged contact will alter surface finishes and void the warranty.
We DO NOT recommend using any household cleaners as many can cause damage to the finish.
Please see the website for care instructions for specific finishes.
