FINISH CARE INFORMATION
WARNING: Do not clean your SANTEC product with ammonia (window
cleaner), bleach, soaps, acids, abrasives, harsh polishes, harsh cleaners, a coarse
surfaced cloth, coarse sponge, or any type of scouring pad. Doing so may ruin your
faucet finish and/or void the warranty.
Thank you for making SANTEC a part of your lifestyle and luxury spa
experience. Our products have been created as works of enduring quality and
sophisticated design. Luxurious finishes need proper care and attention, so in order
to understand how to properly clean your distinctive luxury finish please refer to
the finish care information below:
Your SANTEC product can be identified in one of two categories: clear coated
finishes or non-clear coated finishes. Clear coated finishes are more scratch-
sensitive and more reactant to harsh cleaning chemicals than non-clear coated
finishes. Once you have identified the specific luxury finish of your SANTEC
product, please follow the important corresponding care instructions.

Polished & Satin 24K Gold: The Karat mark states the percentage of pure gold - 24K is
100 percent gold. As one of the Earth's most precious metals, gold is the most supple and
malleable of all metals. Gold-plated faucets scratch easily. To clean, wipe down with a
dry soft cloth after each use. Gold surfaces should be coated with a thin layer of non-
abrasive carnauba wax or liquid car wax up to 3 or 4 times per year. This will prevent
water spotting and water deposit buildup. We recommend using SANTEC's Polish
which has been formulated to clean an d seal, leaving behind a protective coating that
will resist tarnishing and improve water repellency.
Antique Bronze: Antique bronze simulates the antiquity of Old-World craftsmanship
with a golden base color and a blend of dark undertones. To clean, wipe down with a dry
soft cloth after each use. Antique Bronze should be coated with a thin layer of non-
abrasive carnauba wax or liquid car wax up to 3 or 4 times per year. We recommend
