Satin nickel or chrome?
Chrome is shiny and mirror-like; satin nickel is matt and slightly warmer. In a kitchen, the satin finish needs far less upkeep: dried water marks show immediately on chrome but are barely noticeable on satin nickel.
Care
Use soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive products, which scratch the satin finish unevenly and leave lighter patches.

Explore all the colours of furniture knobs and handles, particularly chrome, black and white versions.
