Metals:
Most metals on Konekt pieces are delivered with a live finish unless specified differently. The live finishes are designed to naturally patina over time.

-Maintenance:
-To clean, dust gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Un-lacquered polished brass/bronze surfaces can be re-polished using a polishing cream with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Do not use polisher or cleaning chemicals on any satin brass/bronze, blackened brass/bronze or patinated brass/bronze finishes.
Restoration: To restore a polished finish on an item with a live or non-live finish, we recommend that they be professionally cleaned and polished.
Blackened Steel and Plated Steel
Our blackened steel and plated steel products are lacquered to prevent rust. Lacquered surfaces are durable but should be treated with care as it is possible to chip, crack, or scratch the protective coating.

-Maintenance:
-To clean, dust gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.

-Do not use any chemical cleaners, abrasives, or polishing compounds as this could affect the appearance of the finish.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel will not patina or rust.

-Maintenance:
-To clean, gently dust with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Refrain from using abrasive liquids, cleaners or polishers as they may alter the appearance.

Wood
Wood pieces have been stained and/or polished to bring depth and beauty to each finish. Although most are protected with either a clear coat or wax, they are still susceptible to wear.

-Maintenance:
To clean, use a damp, soft and non-abrasive cloth with water and mild soap if needed. Dry with a clean, soft cloth to remove all moisture. Any liquids spilled should be cleaned up and dried immediately. Do not use chemical cleaners. Do not place hot items directly on wood.
-Important Environmental Information:
-Do not place/leave hot or moist objects directly on wood
surfaces. Rubber or plastic left on the wood finish can damage the
finish.
-Do not place wood items near heaters, air conditioning units, or
in direct sunlight to prevent over-drying and fading.
-Avoid extreme humidity changes in your home, as this can cause
wood to expand and contract, and can cause damage.
-Maintain humidity levels between 35-45%, as extremely dry air can
cause wood to crack.
-Exposing wood to extreme moisture can also cause swelling and
warping.
-Restoration: We recommend that deeply stained or soiled wood pieces be professionally cleaned or refinished.

High Polish Polyurethane

-Maintenance: To clean, use a damp, soft and non-abrasive cloth. A mild soap can be used if needed. Dry with a clean, soft cloth to remove all moisture or soap residue. Do not use any waxes or products with ammonia.
