Furnells recommends choosing a cleaning method that suits the actual metal and finish. Remove dust and loose dirt before polishing, starting with a soft cloth and a gentle cleaning method. Bare brass, lacquered brass, stainless steel and coated aluminium should not automatically be cleaned in the same way.
Identify the material before applying a cleaner if there is any uncertainty. Harsh abrasives may damage the surface finish, engraving infill or surrounding coatings, and unfamiliar products should be tested in an inconspicuous area. Furnells’ guide recommends professional advice before attempting restoration of commemorative, historic or valuable plaques.
Protecting the existing finish
Cleaning should preserve the engraving as well as the surrounding surface. Furnells’ guidance highlights that abrasive treatment can affect infill and coatings. A valuable or historic plaque should receive professional advice before aggressive polishing or chemical cleaning is attempted.
