Copper with Care

Preserve the glow, protect the craft.

Product Care

  • First use: Rinse your copper product thoroughly with lukewarm water and mild soap before first use.
  • Hand wash only: Always wash by hand with lukewarm water. Avoid dishwashers to preserve the finish.
  • Dry thoroughly: After washing, dry completely with a soft cloth to help prevent water spots and tarnishing.
  • Still water only: Do not store acidic, carbonated or other beverages in your copper vessel.
  • Clean when needed: Copper naturally develops dark spots or patina over time. Clean as needed to maintain its shine.
  • No harsh abrasives: Avoid steel wool, abrasive scrubbers or harsh cleaning products. Use a soft sponge or cloth instead.

Caring for Copper

Pieces crafted from a natural material deserve care and attention. When treasured and cared for, your copper items can become timeless pieces to enjoy for years to come. Each piece tells a story — from the day you first brought it home to the care you give it and the way its perfectly imperfect character evolves with time.

Discover our simple cleaning and care tips to help keep your copper shining and preserve the beauty and character of your piece for years to come.

Cleaning Tips

  • Cleaning the inside: Add a Spoonful of citric acid powder to your copper vessel and fill with hot water up to the neck. Leave for just a few seconds, until dark spots and patina begin to fade. Empty immediately and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not leave the solution inside the vessel for over a minute.
  • Cleaning around the lid: Use a squeezed lemon with a little salt to gently clean the inside of the neck and thread. Rinse thoroughly with clean water immediately afterward.
  • Important: Lemon, vinegar, citric acid and other acidic cleaning solutions react with copper. Use them only briefly for cleaning, never for storage, and rinse the vessel thoroughly with clean water afterward.
  • Cleaning the outside: The exterior is protected with a food-grade lacquer that helps preserve its finish. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scrubbing or polishing, as these may damage the lacquer.
