How do I clean and maintain the brass finish?

Troubleshooting
Hook is loose after installation
Ensure screws are fully tightened into the mounting surface. If mounted on drywall, the anchor may not be secure; consider using a larger anchor or mounting directly into a wall stud.
Hook does not fold smoothly
Check for any obstructions or debris around the folding joint. Gently clean the joint area. If the issue persists, a tiny drop of lubricant might help, but use sparingly to avoid attracting dust.
Brass finish appears dull or tarnished
This is natural for brass. Clean with a soft cloth. If a polished finish is desired, use a non-abrasive brass polish according to product directions, and then buff with a clean, soft cloth.
Missing fitting screws
Please contact customer support with your order details to arrange for replacement screws to be sent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Select the desired location on a wall or door.
- Use a level to ensure the hook is positioned straight.
- Mark the screw hole positions.
- If mounting on drywall, use appropriate wall anchors (not included).
- Secure the hook using the provided fitting screws.
Compatibility:
This hook is designed for mounting on solid surfaces such as wood, plasterboard (with anchors), or directly onto doors. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the hook and the items hung on it.
Care:
To maintain the luster of the solid brass:
- Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brass finish.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Over time, brass naturally develops a patina; if a polished look is preferred, a brass polish can be used sparingly, following the product's instructions.
