The steel of the fronts and panels of the REFLECT collection is finished with a clear varnish, making the material resistant to daily use and common household detergents while preserving the aesthetics of the metal. Some visible fingerprints and smudges on the surface from daily use are inevitable, but the varnish ensures that the material doesn’t oxidize over time and remains easy to clean and maintain.
Daily Cleaning
For daily cleaning, we recommend using a damp, soft cloth. Lukewarm water is usually sufficient, but a mild detergent can be added if desired. After cleaning, dry the surface with a soft, dry cloth.
Fingerprints or grease stains can also be easily removed with a regular glass cleaner and kitchen roll or a clean kitchen towel. It's easiest to clean and wipe in a vertical motion ensuring you get into the corrugation of the steel.
Preventive Measures
Although the surface is resistant, it should never be treated with products containing abrasive substances. Using abrasive sponges or harsh materials such as sandpaper, steel wool, or scouring cream will leave visible scratches.
Avoid using overly acidic or alkaline products, as well as heavily chlorinated or bleach-containing products, as these may stain or degrade the surface.
Lastly, we do not recommend using furniture polishes or wax-based cleaners, as they tend to form a sticky layer on the surface that attracts and traps dirt.
