Title: Copperware care
Post by: Sverige on April 12, 2015, 08:23 PM

Inspired by curryhell I bought myself a Balti bucket with hammered copper finish. Took a while but it just showed up. (see:

Just wondering how to clean and care for it, as I assume they're not dishwasher safe?

Hot soapy water, rinse and dry - nothing special

if you want to keep the copper shiny, use a bit metal polish.

I think CT has covered it all Sverige.  Enjoy the bucket.  It does look the dog's *******  though ;)

Lemon juice or weak citric acid bath will put a shine back on tarnished copper.

Thanks for the tip Livo, tried it today and they came up a treat. I've read online tomato ketchup works too.
