How to Clean Artisan Copper Without Damaging It

Copper is appreciated for its beauty, tradition, and presence. Over time, its shine can change due to use, heat, and contact with different elements. This is normal for an artisan piece.

Basic Cleaning

For daily care, use a soft cloth. If you wash the piece, dry it thoroughly to reduce water stains or moisture.

Avoid Abrasive Fibers

Do not use metallic fibers or overly abrasive materials. They can scratch the surface and affect the finish.

Natural Changes in Copper

It's normal for copper to lose its shine or show variations in tone over time. This doesn't necessarily mean the piece is damaged.

Use with Heat

In pots and kitchenware, heat can alter the exterior color. This behavior is characteristic of the material and artisanal use.
