Pro: Easy to Clean and Maintain

Matte finishes are easy to keep clean and easy to maintain, which is good news for busy homeowners and business owners. Matte finishes don't show fingerprints as readily, nor do they show ugly water spots. This is due to the surface of the material. Plus, matte finishes resist scratches, too.

Con: Can Fade Over Time

Matte finishes often fade over time, and when it does, you'll have to refinish or replace your matte finish. One way to help your matte finish stay looking new is to wipe it down often, keeping the dirt, grime, and moisture away.

Matte Finishes Are Easily Damaged

The matte finish itself is more delicate than its glossy counterparts. Thus, you need to be careful when working around your matte finished fixtures, such as a table lamp, or you could accidentally scratch it. Harsh chemicals in cleaners can damage matte finishes, too.
