Usage & Care Instructions

Daily Care

Maintaining the beauty of your copper bathtub is simple with just a few daily habits. After each use, rinse the surface gently with warm water to remove any residues. Then, wipe it dry with a soft cloth to prevent mineral spots or watermarks. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or chemical cleaners, as these can strip the finish or damage the developing patina. Instead, opt for mild, pH-neutral soaps or a copper-friendly cleaner when needed. As the patina evolves naturally with time and use, expect rich shifts in tone that enhance its charm and individuality. For those who prefer a consistent finish, occasional use of copper wax can help preserve its current look. For more tips, explore our copper bathtub daily usage tips.

Deep Cleaning

Periodic deep cleaning keeps your tub in excellent shape. Begin by rinsing with warm water, then apply a copper-safe cleaner using a non-abrasive sponge or microfiber cloth. Gently scrub to remove any accumulated film or residue while preserving the hammered texture and patina. Rinse thoroughly, then dry completely with a clean towel. Avoid acidic substances, bleach, or abrasive pads, which can damage the finish. As copper reacts naturally to its environment, deep cleaning will help maintain a balance between preserving its organic transformation and keeping the surface clean and vibrant.
