​
All Ottawa Brass Metal Plaques and Metal products (except anodized and stainless steel) are coated with a paint or clear poly to protect the metal. It is very important to routinely clean your plaque, letters and logos in order to preserve this coating. Clean with a soft cloth and warm, soapy(dish washing liquid) water. Do not clean with any solvent-based or harsh cleaners as they may damage the coating. We recommend cleaning every few months.
