About this article
Brass hardware brings warmth and luxury to any interior, but it needs regular care to maintain its appearance. Encourage clients to clean it weekly with a soft cloth and mild soap, polish it monthly, and always keep it dry to prevent tarnishing. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools, which can damage the finish. For high-quality, long-lasting brass handles and knobs, explore the SELECT range at Quest.
Brass hardware, with its opulent finish and ability to liven up pretty much any interior space, is the go-to choice for many modern homeowners.
However, to retain its sleek, luxurious appearance and steer clear of tarnishing, it needs to be well taken care of.
In this article, our experts at Quest explore some of the most important maintenance tips you can give to your clients, to help their brass hardware last and look great for as long as possible in their homes.
Clean and polish regularly
Like most things, brass hardware requires regular cleaning and polishing to stay looking its best.
So, you should urge your clients to wipe away dust and fingerprints a few times a week with a dry, soft cloth.
For more stubborn spots and stains, they can use a mild cleaning solution (like warm water and a mild dish soap), and a clean cloth at least once a week.
To help your clients take cleaning to the next level, you could also suggest using a brass polish once every month (or as often as needed), to keep their hardware looking shiny and new.
Avoid harsh cleaning agents and abrasive tools

Keep brass hardware dry
Make sure to stress the importance of keeping brass hardware dry to your clients. Especially after cleaning.
Leaving water to sit on brass hardware, be it kitchen cupboard knobs or wardrobe door handles, can lead to tarnishing – causing the brass to become dull, dim, and discoloured – and not to mention leave unsightly water spots.
So, instruct your clients to grab a clean, dry cloth to dry the brass completely to prevent water spots and premature tarnishing.
