CARING FOR YOUR COPPER BATH

Daily / weekly maintenance - It’s important to rinse the bath out with fresh water immediately after use to get rid of any traces of soap, shampoo and any other toiletries you may have used. After this, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to dry the bath. By doing this you’ll make sure that lingering water won’t leave any marks.

If you use bars of soap, don’t leave them on the edge of the bath, as the acid in them can cause tarnishing, especially citrus-scented soaps. It’s best to remove any jewellery before you bathe, as sharp edges can cause scratches on Copper.

Frequent maintenance - If you’ve chosen to maintain the showroom appearance of your bath, you can keep your Copper Bath tarnish-free by reapplying a suitable wax seal every four to six weeks.

If the wax has worn off and there are any blemishes present on the surface of the bath, you should clean the affected area with Autosol and re-apply the wax. One of the advantages of a Copper Bath is that if you have chosen to leave your bath to attain a patina, you can restore it to a showroom condition at any time by thoroughly cleaning it and reapplying a wax coating.
