Care and Maintenance for your Bronze Bath

Your bath's pure bronze finish contains no sealants, waxes, or oils, and is completely natural. The golden hue and luxurious sheen has been coaxed to the surface with an intense hand-polishing process during the creation of your freestanding bronze tub. In the course of that process, your tub took in an array of minerals that naturally sealed the surface, making it resistant to water and locking in the custom shine.

Your bronze bath will continue to look stunning with proper care and maintenance. With just a little effort, your bath's gorgeous color and luster will continue to beautify your room for years to come.

Cleaning Your Bronze Bath

We recommend cleaning your bath once a week with soap and water. This protects against harmful substances that will eventually make your finish change in color. Using a soft cloth, clean the bathtub with regular soap, and then rinse thoroughly with water. Refrain from using abrasive chemicals or wipes, acid or ammonia-based cleansers, lime and rust removers or vinegar. Using ordinary soap and water will protect the surface of your bath from oxidization and will keep it looking bright and beautiful.
Polishing Your Bronze Bath

When it comes to polishing your bath, you have a couple of options. You may choose not to polish your bronze tub. This will result in a natural darkening of the bronze, which some bath owners desire to create a rustic and earthy appearance. To obtain this naturally darker look, clean the tub as directed above and simply wipe any excess water from the tub after use. If you want to maintain the hand-polished luminous surface, we recommend using a polishing agent that cleans and protects, such as Flitz Metal Polish. After reading the label instructions, apply the polish to the entire surface of the tub with a slightly damp soft cloth. Before the polish dries on the tub, buff briskly with a dry soft cloth until all the polish has been lifted from the tub and the surface shines. After polishing, remember to thoroughly rinse the bathtub to remove substances from the polish that may irritate the skin while bathing. We recommend polishing your Bronze bath every 4 weeks to maximize the brilliance of your tub's appearance.

Maintenance for your Bronze Bath

If you miss a scheduled polish for your bath, or simply forget to clean your tub, have no fear. Your bronze tub is strong and resilient, and polishing can easily restore its original gleam and luster. Fingerprints, hard water stains, rust and lime deposits, saltwater or freshwater corrosion, tarnish, and oxidation can all be eliminated from the surface of your bathtub with little effort. Corroded surfaces may be polished with a synthetic scouring pad. If the problem is more advanced or has been progressing for some time, it may be necessary to use a polishing machine to give your bathtub a more powerful buffing treatment. This will restore your bath's original finish, and can be done at any time during the life of your tub.

If you follow the above steps, your bronze bath will continue to be a magnificent and functional work of art in your home. Its appearance will remain as breathtaking as it was the day you took it home.
