Care Instructions:

Cleaning & Polishing

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cotton or microfiber cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, use mild soap with lukewarm water; rinse and dry immediately.
• Occasionally polish with a soft silver-polishing cloth to restore shine.
• Never use abrasive pads, harsh polishes, or chemical cleaners.

Tarnish Prevention

• Tarnish is natural over time; minimize it by storing items in an anti-tarnish cloth or airtight box.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to air, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not leave liquids, food, or acidic substances on the surface for long.

Storage & Handling

• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Wrap or place items separately to avoid scratches.
• Handle with clean, dry hands to prevent stains or dullness.
• For functional pieces (like trays or bowls), line with fabric or use liners to protect the plating.

Note: With gentle cleaning, mindful storage, and occasional polishing, your brassware item will retain its brilliance for years.
