Copper Baths
EVERYDAY CLEANING
After each use, rinse away any residue with clean water and dry the surface with a soft cloth to help prevent water spots. For a more thorough clean, use mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth as needed.
NATURAL AGING
Over time, your copper bath will naturally develop a patina that forms through oxidation. Often referred to as a "living finish," this process results in a mix of tones that enhances the character of the metal and protects it from corrosion.
REPAIRING DAMAGE
Using a soft microfiber cloth, apply a small amount of high-quality copper polish. Rub in a circular motion until scratch diminishes and the surface regains its shine.
Kel Acrylic Baths

Clean with warm soapy water or any bathroom cleaner that is safe on acrylic finishes.

PREVENTING SCRATCHES

Cleaning and Buffing Guide
EVERYDAY CLEANING
Use a non-abrasive cream cleanswer such as Ajax of Jiff to remove most surface marks. Apply with a damp sponge or soft cloth.
BUFFING FOR STUBBORN MARKS OR LIGHT SCRATCHES
For deeper marks or fine scratches, use a soft circular buffing pad. We recommend a three-stage process using 1000, 2000, and 4000 grit pads Always dampen the pad before use and ensure the surface stays moist throughout.
1. START WITH 1000 GRIT
Use circular motions and apply even pressure to the affected area only. Wipe clean with a damp cloth regularly to check your progress.
2. FOLLOW WITH 2000 GRIT
Once the marks or rough patches have softened, switch to 2000 grit to refine the area and blend it into the surrounding surface.
3. FINISH WITH 4000 GRIT
Use the final buff to bring back a smooth, polished look.
4. OPTIONAL - APPLY CAR WAX
For added sheen and protection, apply a quality car wax such as Purewax following the final buff.
IMPORTANT
This is a surface-level buff only. Do not work deeper than 3mm into the material.
