Care and Maintenance:

1. Regular Cleaning: Clean the bowl using mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the smooth brass surface.
2. Remove Tarnish: Brass will naturally tarnish over time, developing a patina that adds to its vintage appeal. To restore its shine, use a brass cleaner like Brasso or make a natural cleaning paste with lemon juice and baking soda. Rub gently, rinse, and buff dry.
3. Dry Thoroughly: After washing, always dry the bowl completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its luster.
4. Prevent Oxidation: Brass reacts with moisture and air, leading to oxidation. To minimize tarnish, store the bowl in a dry place or wrap it in a cloth when not in use.
5. Polishing Tips: For deeper cleaning, apply brass polish or a homemade vinegar-and-salt paste, then buff the bowl with a soft cloth until it gleams.
6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of using harsh chemicals or acidic substances like amchoor powder or salt directly on the brass surface, as they can cause discoloration.
