What is the best way to clean and care for Sun Valley Bronze hardware?

Bronze is naturally weather resistant, requiring very little maintenance and simple care. Sun Valley Bronze recommends cleaning bronze hardware with mild soap and water. DO NOT use abrasive or chemical-based cleaners, as they will abrade and degrade hardware surfaces. Apply several coats of high quality clear paste wax to protect the finish. Buff lightly with a clean, dry cloth. For care of polished finishes, we recommend using a clean, non-abrasive polishing cloth. Learn more →
