Material-Specific Care Guide

Copper
Copper is a living finish that naturally changes over time. Exposure to air, moisture, oils, minerals, heat, and everyday use can gradually deepen or vary the color of the surface.
These changes are part of the natural character of copper and are not considered defects.
Daily care
- Wipe with a soft microfiber cloth.
- Clean with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Remove food, grease, soap residue, and standing water promptly.
Deep cleaning
- Use a suitable cleaner or a gentle homemade solution.
- Apply gently with a soft cloth or sponge.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is durable and corrosion resistant, but proper cleaning is important to maintain its appearance and prevent discoloration, water spots, or surface contamination.
Daily care
- Wash with warm water and mild dish soap.
- Use a microfiber cloth or soft non-abrasive sponge.
- Wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Dry immediately.
Deep cleaning
- Wipe grease before it hardens.
- Follow the visible grain direction.
- Avoid circular scrubbing, which may create inconsistent surface appearance.
- Wipe exposed surfaces regularly.
- Clean baffle filters separately.
- Avoid spraying liquid into controls, lights, motors, or electrical components.

Other Finishes
Nauxus products may also feature specialty finishes such as:
- Matte Black
- Brushed Gold
- Satin White
- Oil Rubbed Bronze
- Antique Bronze
- Painted Finishes
- PVD Finishes
- Specialty Custom Colors
Because these finishes are decorative surface treatments, abrasive or chemical cleaning can permanently alter their appearance.
Daily care
- Dust with a soft microfiber cloth.
- Clean with warm water and mild soap.
- Use a soft damp cloth rather than an abrasive sponge.
- Rinse gently when required.
- Dry immediately.
Deep cleaning
- MATTE & DARK FINISHES - Matte black and other dark finishes may show: Water spots, Fingerprints, Soap residue, Mineral deposits.
Frequent gentle wiping is preferable to occasional aggressive cleaning. - BRUSHED GOLD & DECORATIVE METALLIC FINISHES - Clean with minimal pressure. Avoid metal polish unless the product documentation specifically states that it is safe for the finish.
- OIL RUBBED BRONZE & ANTIQUE FINISHES - These finishes are intentionally designed with color variation and depth. Do not polish aggressively, as doing so can lighten high-contact areas or remove part of the decorative finish. Subtle changes over time may occur through normal use.
