Caring for copper involves regular cleaning and maintenance to keep it looking its best and prevent tarnish. Here's how to care for your copper items:
Daily Cleaning
For day-to-day upkeep, gentle cleaning is key.
- Wash by hand: Avoid dishwashers, as they can damage the copper due to heat and harsh detergents.
- Use gentle materials: Use a nonabrasive sponge with regular dish soap and warm water.
- Dry immediately: After washing, dry the copper thoroughly with a clean cotton cloth. Avoid air-drying, which can lead to water spots.
