Keep dry: Wipe the opener after use and avoid prolonged contact with moisture to slow natural tarnishing.
Clean gently: Use a soft dry cloth for regular cleaning. For deeper cleaning, use a mild brass polish only if you prefer a bright finish, otherwise, let it develop a natural patina over time.
Avoid abrasives: Do not use harsh scrubbers or chemical cleaners, as they may scratch the hand-carved details.
Store mindfully: Keep it in a dry place, ideally wrapped in a soft cloth to protect the intricate carving. Handle with care: Though sturdy, handcrafted pieces benefit from gentle handling to preserve the fine detailing.
About Brass Tarnishing:
Brass naturally develops a darker, muted patina over time as it reacts to air and moisture. This gentle tarnishing is completely normal and part of the metal’s character. If you prefer a brighter finish, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth or use a mild brass polish to restore its shine. Regular, gentle care will keep your piece looking just the way you like it, whether you enjoy its natural aging or a polished glow.
