KEEP THE CHARACTER. CARE FOR THE COPPER.
A little care goes a long way
Handcrafted copper develops character through its surface texture and finish. Whether you choose natural copper or a decorative turquoise, blue or dark patina, gentle care will help preserve the look of your piece.
Caring for copper sinks
- Rinse away soap residue and food particles after use.
- Use a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge with mild soap and water.
- Dry when practical to help minimize water spots.
- Avoid steel wool, scouring pads, bleach, strong acidic cleaners and abrasive products.
- Do not use metal polish or harsh patina removers on a decorative finish unless you specifically intend to alter the patina.
- Take care with metal utensils and heavy cookware, which can scratch or mark a hand-finished surface.
For any specific surface treatment or protective coating, ask us for care guidance tailored to your sink.
Caring for copper pendant and wall lights
- Turn the fixture off and allow it to cool before cleaning.
- Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth.
- Keep liquids away from wiring, sockets and electrical components.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners and copper polish on patinated surfaces.
- Have electrical installation and maintenance performed by a qualified professional.
What about changes in the patina?
Copper is a natural material, and some finishes may gradually change in appearance with handling, moisture and environmental conditions. Decorative patinas can also vary between handmade pieces. Follow the guidance provided for your particular finish and contact us before using chemical cleaning products.
