Care guide

Care that matches the craft.

Short routines for the materials commonly selected through Handles & More — quartz, stainless, PVD, heavy brass and soft-close hardware. Save this page; print it; tape it inside your cabinet door.

Quartz Granite

Cast composite. Hand-warm, hygienic and stain-resistant by design. Daily care is intentionally minimal.

Daily: Wipe down with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Dry with the same cloth.
Weekly: Use a non-abrasive cream cleaner — Cif or Vim Bar — for deeper clean. Rinse thoroughly.
Avoid: Steel wool, bleach in concentration, and acidic descalers.
Long-term: Once every six months, run a 50/50 white-vinegar + water rinse to remove water-line build-up.

Stainless Steel · Satin

SS304 with a brushed satin finish. The finish hides waterspots; daily wipe-downs keep it looking new.

Daily: Microfibre wipe along the grain. Avoid circular scrubbing — it dulls the satin.
Weekly: Mild stainless cleaner (Pitambari, Brasso Stainless). Always wipe along the grain.
Avoid: Chlorine bleach, hydrochloric acid, and steel wool — they corrode the chromium-oxide layer.
Tip: A drop of olive oil rubbed in once a month will restore the warm satin sheen.

PVD Finishes (Gold · Rose Gold · Black · Copper Matte)

Physical-Vapour-Deposited coatings. Harder than chrome and resistant to fingerprints, but they reward gentleness.

Daily: Wipe with a damp soft cloth. No detergent needed for daily use.
Weekly: Mild dish soap, soft cloth. Avoid scrubbing pads.
Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, ammonia, and any cleaner labelled "for chrome" — too harsh for PVD.

Heavy Brass Faucetry

Polished or PVD over solid brass. The cartridge inside is rated for half a million cycles.

Daily: Wipe with a soft cloth after the last use of the day to prevent water-spotting.
Quarterly: Unscrew the aerator at the spout, soak in white vinegar for 30 minutes, rinse, refit.
Avoid: Toilet-bowl cleaners and any product containing hydrochloric or sulphuric acid.
Service: Cartridges are field-replaceable. Email our service team if flow drops.

Soft-close Hardware

Tested to 80,000 cycles. The mechanism is sealed; almost no maintenance is required.

Quarterly: Wipe runners with a dry cloth. Do not lubricate — the mechanism is self-greased.
Annual: Check that drawers close softly. If they slam, call service for a free re-tension.
Avoid: WD-40 or any solvent — it strips the factory grease.
