Troubleshooting
Cloudiness after washing
Ensure you are hand-washing with mild soap and warm water, and drying thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after washing. Avoid dishwashers and harsh detergents.
Scratches on copper accents
This can occur with improper handling or cleaning. Always use a soft cloth for drying and avoid abrasive surfaces or cleaners. For minor scuffs, gentle polishing with a clean, dry cloth may help, but avoid excessive rubbing.
