Use and Care Instructions for Brass
Safe Use Guidelines
Food Contact Safety: While brass is safe for serving, avoid using it with highly acidic or salty foods for prolonged periods, as they may react with the material.
Temperature Considerations: Do not expose brass to extreme temperatures, such as open flames or direct oven heat, to prevent warping or discoloration.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Hand Wash Only: Always wash brass items by hand using mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents, as these can scratch or dull the surface.
Dry Immediately: After washing, dry brass thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and tarnishing.
Avoid Polishing and Allow Patina Buildup
Do not use a brass polish or other solutions to clean the surface as the brass is coated with a food safe lacquer to prevent excessive tarnishing
For natural aging, let the brass develop a patina over time, adding character and uniqueness.
Storage Tips
Store brass items in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture buildup. Wrap in soft cloth or tissue paper to protect against scratches when stacking or
storing multiple pieces.
Long-Term Care
Regularly inspect your brass pieces for signs of wear, and polish them periodically to maintain their original brilliance.
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh cleaning agents, as they can strip the protective layer and compromise the integrity of the material.
