People assume a mirror finish is precious. In truth, 304 stainless is one of the most resilient surfaces you can bring into a home — it simply shows fingerprints more honestly than a matte one. Here is how to keep it effortless.
Everyday
For day-to-day marks and fingerprints, a clean microfibre cloth is all you need — dry, or barely damp with warm water. Buff in the direction of the form, lift, and the surface returns to a clean reflection. Keep a cloth in a nearby drawer and it becomes a ten-second habit rather than a chore.
Now and then
For a deeper clean, a little pH-neutral soap in warm water, then dry thoroughly with a fresh microfibre cloth to avoid water spots. Avoid abrasive pads, scouring creams, and anything containing chloride or bleach — these are the only things that genuinely threaten stainless.
Treat it like a good watch, not a museum piece. Wipe it, enjoy it, repeat.
The long view
Steel doesn't fade, yellow, or off-gas. A Chrome Piece you buy now will look identical in twenty years — which is rather the point of buying once. And should anything ever go wrong structurally, our five-year structural warranty has you covered — the terms, including what it excludes, are set out in full on our warranty page.
