Caring for Brass
- Prompt Drying: Water droplets left on brass create dull spots; dry thoroughly right after washing.
- Soft Stacking: Place soft paper towels or cloth napkins between stacked brass plates to prevent scratch marks.
- Patina Balance: Allow decorative brass to develop an antique patina, while keeping dining surfaces gleaming.
✕ NEVER
What to Avoid
- No Harsh Acids Overnight: Never leave pickles, yogurt, or curd stored in unlined brass for extended hours.
- No Dishwashers: High alkaline detergents will tarnish brass black and ruin lacquer coatings.
- No Metal Scourers: Steel wool scratches brass surfaces and dulls hand-beaten textures permanently.
