Product Care
Mr Pinchy & Co recommend following the below care instructions across our range collections.
BRASS
By nature brass will dull over time and build up a patina. If you like your brass nice and bright like us follow the below…
TO CLEAN: Using a soft cotton cloth you can apply a brass polish like ‘Brasso’ applied as a liquid or our preference ‘Autosol’ applied as a cream, rubbing onto all parts of the brass and then polishing off with a clean part of the cloth. Both of these brass cleaners are available at Bunnings or similar hardware stores. Please note; The more tarnished your brass the harder you will need to polish to bring your brass back to a bright shine.
EXPOSURE: Although we recommend featuring our pieces inside they can be placed in alfresco and even outdoors areas, but please bare in mind that the brass will tarnish and build up a dull gold/green patina in places which can still be polished back as brass is very resilient to rust.
GLASS
Our Havana glassware collection is mouth blown and hand etched with each piece being totally unique.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: It is recommended to hand wash only in warm soapy water. Upon receiving always wash before using. Enjoy!
MARBLE
All of our marble is highly polished but is porous by nature and can be stained or get water marks if liquids are left on their surface. Always wipe away immediately.
TO CLEAN: Clean the marble surface with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap (available at hardware stores or from a stone/tile dealer), or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Use a clean soft cloth for best results. Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar, or other acids. Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use scouring powders or creams; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the surface.
For the brass parts of these pieces please be carefull when using brass polish near the marble/filler especially the white marble/filler as this will mark. In this case you can apply the above cleaning solution or use a baby wipe which is very effective.
EXPOSURE: Only for inside. Do note leave your marble/brass pieces outside to weather.
