Polished vs Brushed - Best Switch Plates for Reducing Fingerprints
All plates will show fingerprints, however they tend not be as noticeable on brushed or satin plates.
To prevent fingerprints on shiny or polished wall plates, wipe them down with oil so that any new oil from fingerprints won’t show.
Use dusting spray and a soft cloth to remove and reduce fingerprints on our brushed metal wall plates without harming the finish.
