"Are the polished brass, pearl nickel, pewter, oil rubbed bronze, etc. (special finishes) as durable as chrome?"
We recommend chrome-finish baskets as they are much less likely to tarnish with proper care. Metal-bodied basket strainers with special (non-chrome) finishes generally do not last long under harsh acidic (tomatoes, etc) or other sink conditions. Because of this, we do not warranty, guarantee, or promise that metal strainers with special finishes will last long. The chrome and all-stainless steel basket strainers that we offer will generally last longer and are always the better choice.
"What type of cleaner do you recommend to clean my basket strainer bodies with?"
Mild, liquid dishwashing soap is best. Also, please note that acids (tomatoes, etc) will attack polished brass and most non-chrome finishes. We suggest that you do not use abrasive cleaners, and - though we offer other finishes - we recommend that you only purchase chrome-finished baskets.
