CAST IRON
Use a solution of soapy water and apply with a soft cloth or sponge in a brushing motion. Do not use wire brushes, steel wool & abrasive sponge pads. Rinse thoroughly with water immediately after the application of cleaners and wipe the surface leaving it completely dry after the process. Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface and avoid dripping taps. It is important not to use acidic cleaners or sprays as this will affect the surface of the bath and may result in small brown particles building up on the enamel surface or staining.
UNWAXED COPPER, BRASS & NICKEL
Clean with warm soapy water and a nonabrasive cloth and dry immediately after use. Avoid dripping taps, sharp objects, the use of abrasive products and harsh chemicals. If the item has not been waxed, maintain the polished finish with the use of Autosol metal cleaner in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions as and when required. Do not use the Autosol on nickel surfaces as this can be mildly abrasive which can wear through to the copper. We recommend checking the compatibaility of all other cleaning products before using on nickel surfaces. Dry up any pools of water on the surface, as this could lead to water marking.
All copper brassware is unlacquered and will patina. This is a natural process as the copper oxidises but to prevent the patina finish clean the surface regularly and apply a small amount of polish with Autosol metal clearer.
WAXED COPPER BRASS & NICKEL
Clean with warm soapy water and a nonabrasive cloth and dry immediately after use. Avoid dripping taps, sharp objects, the use of abrasive products and harsh chemicals. To maintain the waxed finish reapply a suitable wax every 4-6 weeks following the manufacturer’s instructions. Dry up any pools of water on the surface, as this could lead to water marking.
