Care Instructions for Brass Lux Statues
At Brass Lux, we craft each statue with precision and care, and we want to help you maintain their elegance and luster for years to come. Here are some guidelines on how to care for your luxury brass statues.
Regular Cleaning
-
Dusting: Regularly dust your brass statue with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation. This is often enough to maintain its appearance.
-
Gentle Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild dish soap. Gently wipe the surface and dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Polishing
-
Frequency: Brass can tarnish over time. If you prefer a bright, shiny look, occasional polishing is recommended.
-
Polish Selection: Use a high-quality brass polish. Follow the instructions on the product label.
-
Application: Apply polish with a soft cloth, gently rubbing in a circular motion. Work in small sections until the entire piece is covered.
-
Buffing: After applying polish, buff the statue with a clean, dry cloth to restore its shine.
Avoiding Damage
-
Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brass surface.
-
Scratches: Be mindful of objects that might scratch the surface. If your statue is in a high-traffic area, consider relocating it to prevent accidental damage.
-
Handling: When moving your statue, handle it gently and ensure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or smudges.
Long-Term Care
-
Environment: Keep your statue in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperature changes, as these can cause the brass to tarnish more quickly.
-
Storage: If you need to store your statue, wrap it in a soft cloth and store it in a dry place to prevent tarnishing.
Special Considerations
-
Outdoor Statues: For brass statues displayed outdoors, apply a protective lacquer to guard against weather elements. Regular cleaning is still necessary.
-
Patina Development: Some collectors appreciate the natural patina that develops on brass over time. If you prefer this aged look, reduce polishing frequency.
