Copper Care & Feeding

1 1/2" Patinated Copper Countertop, Eased Square Edge
  • Use of a trivet for very hot pots is recommended.
  • If you wish to minimize scratch marks and preserve your knife blades, use a cutting board for chopping.
  • Minor scratches and mineral streaking can be brushed with a household Scotch brite pad.
  • We recommend "Stainless Steel Magic" cleaner and polish.
  • Use Butcher wax for food preparation surfaces or auto wax (i.e., “Rain Dance”) to help protect the surface and to slow the natural darkening process.
  • To help prevent spotting and glass rings, wipe up liquids promptly.
  • There is no coating or lacquering of metal products, they are raw metals. Care for these products varies based
    on the polish style:
    • Matte Finish: Minor scratches and mineral streaking can be brushed out with a household 3M Green Scotch-Brite pad and May be sanded through the grades up to 220 and buffed.
    • Mirror-Polished Finish: zinc, pewter, copper or bronze may be serviced with automotive compound and a machine-polishing pad. General cleaning may be done using any metal polish.
    • Finishes with Patina: Windex is a great cleaner for patinated metal tops. Sanding or buffing will remove scratches but will also remove the patina. The Patina will return over time.
