How do I care for brass light fittings from the Guariche collection?

The brass lights in the Guariche collection manufactured by Sammode are varnished. This means that no maintenance is required, as the varnish protects the brass from passivation. We recommend a simple monthly or half-yearly dusting, depending on the conditions in which the piece is displayed, using a flannel cloth or chamois.

If your product is stained by food spills (dirt, grease, etc.), we recommend cleaning the stain with a mild, natural soap (e.g. black soap) and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water before wiping with a flannel cloth or chamois.
