How to Use Copper Safely

Using Copper Bottles & Vessels

Copper bottles are designed specifically for storing water.

Best Practice:

• Fill your bottle with clean drinking water
• Allow the water to sit for 6–8 hours or overnight
• Drink within 24 hours

Important Guidelines:

• Do not store acidic liquids such as lemon water, juice, or vinegar
• Do not use for hot beverages
• Do not leave water in the bottle for extended periods
• Always rinse before refilling

Using Copper Jewellery & Bangles

Copper jewellery is designed for both style and everyday wear.

What to Expect:

• A greenish mark on the skin may appear — this is normal and harmless, caused by natural oxidation

Care Tips:

• Remove before bathing or swimming
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and chemicals
• Clean regularly to maintain appearance

Understanding Copper Tarnishing

Copper naturally reacts with air and moisture. This may result in:

• Darkening
• Dullness
• Green or brown marks

This process is known as oxidation and is completely normal.

Tarnishing is not a defect — it confirms that your copper product is genuine.

How to Clean Copper

Proper cleaning helps maintain both hygiene and appearance.

Cleaning the Inside (Copper Bottles)

• Use a soft brush to gently clean the inside of the bottle
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water
• Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials

Cleaning the Outside (Maintaining Shine)

• Use a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar
• Gently rub the exterior using a soft cloth or sponge
• Rinse lightly if necessary

Drying

• Always wipe your copper product with a soft, dry cloth after cleaning
• This prevents water marks and helps maintain the natural shine

Cleaning Tips

• Do not use abrasive materials that may scratch the surface
• Avoid dishwashers and harsh chemicals
• Clean regularly to prevent buildup and heavy tarnishing

How to Store Copper

Proper storage extends the lifespan of your products:

• Store in a clean, dry place
• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture
• Keep away from chemicals
• Use soft cloths or pouches for jewellery

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Storing acidic liquids in copper bottles
• Leaving water in bottles for too long
• Not drying copper after cleaning
• Wearing copper jewellery in water
• Using harsh or abrasive cleaning products

Final Thoughts

Copper is a natural material that requires simple but consistent care. When used correctly, it remains both functional and long-lasting.

By following these care practices, your copper products will:

• Remain safe to use
• Maintain their appearance
• Last for years
