Care guide
Caring for Your Brass Products
Brass is a timeless material that ages beautifully, developing a natural patina over time. Here are a few simple tips to keep your brass pieces looking their best:
• Cleaning: Wipe your brass product with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft sponge, then dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Polishing: If you prefer a shinier finish, use a gentle brass polish sparingly. Always follow the product instructions and buff with a soft cloth to restore its lustre.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of abrasive cleaners, vinegar, or acidic substances, as they can damage the surface.
• Storage: Store your brass items in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing. Use anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets if storing for long periods.
• Handle with Care: Avoid dropping or placing heavy items on your brass pieces, as they can dent or scratch.
With proper care, your brass products will retain their beauty and continue to tell a story through their timeless charm.
Caring for Your Block Printed Cotton Products
Block printed cotton is a delicate craft, to maintain its beauty and longevity, follow these care tips:
• First Wash: Wash separately in cold water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent to set the colours and remove any excess dye. Avoid soaking for long periods.
• Regular Washing: Use a gentle hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, as they can fade the colours.
• Drying: Air dry in the shade to prevent fading from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying, as it can weaken the fabric over time.
• Ironing: Use a warm iron on the reverse side of the fabric to preserve the print’s vibrancy.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Fold neatly to avoid creases and keep away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration.
By caring for your block printed cotton products thoughtfully, you can enjoy their unique charm and handcrafted artistry for years to come.
