Care & Cleaning

Polished Chrome is a durable finish comprised of a layer of chrome plating over a layer of nickel , laid onto the solid brass that has been polished to a high sheen. Polished Chrome has a silver tone that tends to the cooler side of the color spectrum. This stable finish does not tarnish.

Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. Clean using liquid soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish.

Polish by applying Simichrome Polishing paste and then buff out with a clean soft cloth. Protect by applying Flitz Polish or Bruno’s Faucet Wax.

ROHL® products may be used outside. However, we do not offer a warranty. Use these tips for a successful installation. Polished Chrome is the most durable of ROHL finishes and is the best finish for outside installations. Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. If minerals or salt are accumulating on the fixture, clean by applying a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar, then pat dry. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish. Spray weekly with fresh water, wipe dry and apply Flitz Wax or Bruno’s Faucet Wax to avoid hard water spotting. If in freezing temperatures, winterize fixtures by removing cartridges, drain all water or store fixtures indoors.

Polished Nickel has a silver tone that tends to the warmer side of the color spectrum. It is a composition of nickel plating on brass that has been polished to a high sheen.

Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. Clean using liquid soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish.

The same composition as Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel is a composition of nickel plating over  brass that has been artistically brushed. 

Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. Clean using liquid soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish.

Polish by applying Gagnon’s SX. Remove black or white spots, mineral deposits
and tarnish marks by lightly brushing the finish using a green Scotch Brite™ pad and water.
Protect using Flitz Wax or Bruno’s Faucet Wax. Brush in the same direction as in faucet.

The Matte Black finish is achieved by powder coating – a special technique where the coating is applied electrostatically and is cured with heat, forming a tough finish or “skin”. This finish is extremely hard and durable. The Matte Black powder coat is applied to a brass surface.

Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. Clean using liquid soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish. Do not deep clean or use abrasives.

Protect using Flitz Wax or Bruno’s Faucet Wax. Apply by patting on and patting off. Do not rub or buff.

The Tuscan Brass finish is a “living finish” achieved by chemically darkening the surface. The result is a finish that resembles aged bronze. This color is very dark and can vary from a deep brown to a dark gray. As a “living finish” the finish color will continue to change over time, particularly where touched.

Unlacquered Brass is raw brass that is polished and left unlacquered allowing for natural aging over time. Often referred to as a “living finish,” unlacquered brass will take on a patina that will vary with exposure to sun, touch, oxygen and other airborne particles. It will age unevenly.

Stainless Steel is known for scratch and corrosion resistance. It is made with a special combination of metals over nickel plating.    It is used extensively in commercial kitchens and laboratories where sanitary environments are mandatory.

For deep cleaning, apply Astonish and buff out with a clean soft cloth. Protect using Flitz Wax or Bruno’s Faucet Wax.

Brushed Stainless Steel is created by brushing the stainless steel. Stainless Steel is known for corrosion resistance. It is used extensively in commercial kitchens and laboratories where sanitary environments are mandatory. The type of stainless steel is high grade AISI 316 stainless steel.

Antique Gold is a durable Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process that is harder and more corrosion resistant than coatings from a galvanic process. The coating has a high impact strength, excellent abrasion resistance and is very durable. Antique Gold has muted bronze tonality with a brushed patina that reflects an aged finish. This stable finish does not tarnish. (PVD)

Limited lifetime warranty

To preserve the look of your product, it should be cleaned with a mild soap, rinsed with clear water and dried with a soft cloth. For best care, wipe dry after use. To avoid water spotting, wax regularly. Do not use products with abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol. Important: Do not use abrasive, irritant or corrosive products (such as detergents or other products containing ammonia).

Always rinse and/or clean the faucets after having sprayed cleaning products onto other surrounding surfaces, including mirrors and ceramic tiles. On vertical surfaces, spray with a wax on a weekly basis. Do not rub or buff. PVD or Physical Vapor Deposition is a process of coating a surface with a durable coating that is very strong and resists chemicals and abrasion. While very durable, do not use abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol for cleaning.

ROHL products may be used outside; However, when installed outside, the warranty is no longer offered. Finishes with PVD will wear well in most conditions, but UV sunlight, rain, snow, and freezing weather can compromise the finish. If possible, avoid direct sunlight. If in freezing temperatures, winterize fixtures by removing cartridges, drain all water or store fixtures indoors. Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. A spray wax on vertical surfaces is  recommended. If minerals or salt are accumulating on the fixture, clean by applying a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar, then pat dry. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish. Spray weekly with fresh water, wipe dry and apply Flitz Wax to avoid hard water spotting. Important: Do not use products that are corrosive like abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol.

The French Brass finish is a raw brass that has been buffed and muted by soaking in a brass aging solution and protected by a wax coating. It is a “living finish” that is unlacquered with a wax coating and will continue to age over time. It will age unevenly.

Satin Unlacquered Brass is raw brass that is polished, then artistically brushed and left unlacquered to take on a patina. This finish is a “living finish” and will continue to change over time.
