Bronze/Brass/Stainless Steel
-Most metals on Timothy Schreiber pieces are delivered with a live finish unless specified differently. The live finishes are designed to naturally patina over time.

Maintenance (live and lacquered finishes):
-Clean with a soft slightly damp cloth.
-Do not use commercial or heavy-duty polishes or waxes as they may scratch or damage the finish.

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.

Glass and Crystal:
Maintenance:
-Glass and crystal can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, damp cloth or glass cleaner with no additives.
-Apply the glass cleaner to a soft cloth rather than directly onto the fixture to avoid overspray that may damage other finishes.

Restoration:
Light scratches and nicks can often be addressed by a professional glass service.

Stone
Maintenance:
-Clean stone surfaces with a soft cloth and a few drops of stone soap or a light dish detergent combined with warm water.
-Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film or cause streaks. Rinse the surface thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth.
-For spills, blot with a soft cloth immediately to prevent the stain from being absorbed by the stone. Flush with water and mild soap, and rinse well. Dry the area with a soft cloth.

Precautions:
-Many common foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the surface of many stones.
-Use placemats or felt spots under china, ceramics, silver, or any other objects that may scratch the surface.
-Use coasters under any liquid containers. Do not allow liquids to remain in contact with stone surfaces.

Restoration:
-We recommend that stained, chipped, scratched, or water-marked stone be professionally treated by a stone cleaner or a refinisher.
