Weathered Copper - WC Black-Oil Rubbed Bronze - ORB
ABOUT YOUR FINISH:
This finish is done with real precious metal gold plating on
the brass fixture surface. This finish has NO PROTECTIVE
COATING and is extremely soft. Some or all of the Gold plating will be removed if any type
of polish is used. Additionally, the finish will wear aware with time. The gold plating is con-
sidered very delicate and can be easily scratched or scuffed. Any type of astringent cleaner
or any type of abrasive cleanser, pad, cloth or sponge will damage the finish.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
It is the responsibility of the customer to check for any material finish defects BEFORE
installation. Waterstone does not warranty these finishes AFTER the fixture has been
installed.
SUGGESTED FINISH MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
1. Do not allow water spots to dry on the fixture. Keep the surface clean and dry after use.
2. Periodic cleaning can be done with mild liquid soap only. Wipe gently with a soft cloth
to clean.
3. Never use cleaners with bleach, abrasives, or vinegar. Never use any type of abrasive pad
or sponge.
ABOUT YOUR FINISH:
These finishes are the most durable finishes Waterstone
offers. The best general maintenance is regular cleaning.
Even though these finishes are considered durable, you can never use any abrasive type
cleaners, clothes, or pads to clean your fixture. Always try and keep your finishes clean and
dry. Trapped moisture on the surface of your finish can lead to staining. Astringent clean-
ers, chlorine, bleach, along with acidic based organic cleansers are potentially harmful to
these finishes. Chrome plated finishes are very tarnish resistant. However, they are not
indestructible and can scratch and mar.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
It is the responsibility of the customer to check for any material finish defects BEFORE
installation.
SUGGESTED FINISH MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
1. Do not allow water spots to dry on the fixture. Keep the surface clean and dry after use.
2. Periodic cleaning can be done by applying denatured isopropyl alcohol with a soft clean
cloth to gently remove surface spots.
3. Never use cleaners with bleach, abrasives, or vinegar. Never use any type of abrasive pad
or sponge.

ABOUT YOUR FINISH:
This finish is considered a Living Finish and has
NO PROTECTIVE COATING on the surface. Living finishes are finishes that have a very
shallow patina on their surface. Essentially, the finish is what nature would do to the
surface over a long period of time. The finishes are intended to change with time and
generally darken slightly where they are not being touched, and highlight where the high
use points are on the fixture. Hand oils, soaps, and acidic fluids and cleaners can damage
the finish. This finish is not durable, and can be easily scratched or scuffed. Any type of
astringent cleaner or any type of abrasive cleanser, pad, cloth or sponge will damage the
finish. To help keep the surface on the fixture from oxidizing in the packaging, Waterstone
initially applies a non abrasive all purpose metal polish to the finish surface to help protect
and prevent the finish from exposure to air and oxidizing prior to installation.

SUGGESTED FINISH MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
1. Do not allow water spots to dry on the fixture. Keep the surface clean and dry after use.
2. Periodic cleaning can be done by applying mineral oil to a clean soft cloth and gently
wiping down the finish surface to clean. Make sure not to rub too hard, in that you can
remove too much of the surface patina surface with aggressive cleaning.
3. Once the mineral oil has been applied, with a clean soft dry cloth gently pat the finish
surface to remove any excess oil on the fixture to until the fixture no longer looks “wet”.
4. Never use cleaners with bleach, abrasives, or vinegar. Never use any type of abrasive pad
or sponge.

1. Do not allow water spots to dry on the fixture. Keep the surface clean and dry after use.
2. Periodic cleaning can be done by applying denatured isopropyl alcohol to a clean soft
cloth and gently wiping down the finish surface to clean. Make sure not to rub too hard, in
that you can remove too much of the surface patina. This step will leave the finish looking
a shade darker.
3. Using a different soft clean cloth, apply a non-abrasive metal polish (we recommend
“Miracle Shine”) to the cloth and gently rub the polish into the finish. This will clean, pro-
tect, and brighten up the finish after it was left darker from the alcohol cleaning in step 2.
4. Never use cleaners with bleach, abrasives, or vinegar. Never use any type of abrasive pad
or sponge.
