Handcrafted Metal products are made from the finest
quality metals available. The "Antique" and
"Old World Patina" finishes are created by a
classic "hot" process and will change over time,
developing more interest and variation. We recommend a
regular application of protective wax be applied to these
finishes.
General Care & Cleaning:
- After every use, rinse thoroughly, then wipe the sink dry
with a clean soft cloth. This will prevent water spotting
and will leave your sink as beautiful as you expect it to
be.
- All Handcrafted Metal copper products should be cleaned
only with non-abrasive soaps and a soft cloth. (Ivory, Dawn, etc.)
No coarse, acidic, or alcohol-based cleaners should be used.
Steel wool, Brillo pads, and wire brushes may scratch copper
surfaces and should be avoided.
- Tough stains may be removed using a paste of baking soda
and water applied with a sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth.
Additional Care Instructions:
As needed, you can apply Trewax® or a polish-free furniture wax as a protective coating.
Natural copper and high-polish copper finishes will naturally
patina, but can be easily restored to an original luster by
using a brass/copper polish such as Wright's Copper Cream.
Trewax can also be applied to high-polished or natural copper
surfaces to reduce the appearance of natural patination.
(Trewax and related products can be found at trewax.com).
The natural patina process may also be affected by mineral
content in your water supply. Removing any standing water
with a soft cloth is recommended to prevent calcium staining
and mineral buildup.
