How should I care for the polished nickel finish?

Troubleshooting
Door stopper feels loose after installation.
Ensure screws are fully tightened. If mounting on drywall, check if wall anchors are properly seated or consider using longer screws if the wall material is thicker than anticipated. Ensure the mounting surface is sound.
Polished nickel finish appears dull or tarnished.
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. If mild tarnish persists, use a dedicated non-abrasive brass cleaner, following the product instructions carefully, then buff with a dry cloth.
Rubber buffer shows signs of wear.
While designed for durability, prolonged or forceful impacts can degrade the rubber. Contact the manufacturer for potential replacement buffer options if available. Ensure the stopper is correctly positioned to absorb impact centrally.
