Clean sockets and switches with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals and excessive moisture, as these may affect the finish over time.
For best results, handle finishes with care during installation and avoid spraying cleaning products directly onto the plate.
How Lighting Affects Finish Appearance
Warm white lighting can make brass, bronze and copper finishes appear richer and warmer. Cool white lighting can make chrome, nickel, black and white finishes appear sharper, cooler and more reflective.
Natural daylight often gives the clearest impression of the finish, while evening lighting can slightly alter the tone depending on the bulb colour temperature and surrounding decor.
