Maintenance Guides
Handle the light fixture using the provided nitrile gloves. When dealing with raw brass, polished, mirror or tumbled aluminum surfaces, refrain from touching flat surfaces directly, even with gloves on. Manipulate fixtures by holding their edges.
PAINT
-
Use a microfiber cloth dampened with water. Avoid applying pressure, as the paint is prone to scratching.
- Matte paint: Use a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water or an all-purpose acetone-free cleaner. 75% alcohol will ensure optimal cleaning.
- Textured paint: Avoid rags that may tear or leave lint due to the texture of the paint. Opt for a lightly dampened cloth with water or any all-purpose acetone-free cleaner. 75% alcohol will ensure optimal cleaning.
ACRYLIC - SAINTE COLLECTION
Clean only with a soft, non-abrasive cloth (microfiber) and warm soapy water.
Avoid any cleaner containing ammonia, alcohol, or solvents.
Always wipe gently, without pressing hard, to avoid scratches.
ALUMINUM TUMBLE/MIRROR/POLISH
Using a microfiber cloth and 70% alcohol, thoroughly wet the surface to be cleaned and wipe immediately. Avoid acrylic (plastic) surfaces.
ENAMELLED COPPER
Use a dry microfiber cloth. Abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads/tools should not be used.
LENS
Use a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water or an all-purpose acetone-free cleaner.
RAW BRASS
Light fixtures containing raw brass components will naturally develop a patina over time. Should you desire to revive the original look of your brass, follow these instructions for the supplied polishing cream (Collinite No. 850 Metal Wax):
- Ensure the product is well shaken before use;
- Apply a small quantity of cream onto a chamois or cotton cloth;
- Gently rub the tarnished brass surface following the direction of the part’s polish. Repeat as necessary for enhanced luster
GRAPHITE
Refrain from using abrasive products, as graphite is equipped with a protective layer to deter oxidation. Instead, opt for a slightly damp microfiber cloth devoid of acetone. 75% alcohol will ensure optimal cleaning.
ISLE
- Glass tube: Use a microfiber cloth for glass and mirrors (e.g. eyeglass cloth) lightly dampened with water. Then use a dry microfiber cloth to remove any excess water. The glass is coated with a protective oil, so avoid using abrasive products and cloths.
- Marble: Use a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water or an all-purpose acetone-free cleaner. Avoid any product containing abrasives, as marble has a protective sealer to enhance its color.
