Installation & Care

CARING FOR YOUR MICHAEL HEALY ARTISTIC DECORATIVE HARDWARE

The protective coating on your hardware will last many years. You can extend the life of the coating by occasionally applying a car wax. They can be cleaned with a mild soap and water if needed. Do not use solvents, such as brass cleaners, as these can damage the protective coating.
