Antiquax Brass and Copper Bath is an immersion cleaning treatment designed to remove tarnish from brass and copper without the need for rubbing or polishing by hand.

Each box contains 5 x 30g sachets. Simply place a sachet in a suitable plastic container, add hot water and immerse the brass or copper items for approximately five minutes.

The treatment is particularly useful for engraved and filigree brass and copper pieces, as the solution can reach areas that can be difficult to clean with a cloth.

Dirt and tarnish can be loosened during the immersion process, making this a convenient alternative to traditional brass and copper polishing.

If your Brass is very dirty, tarnished or greasy, then we would recommend our Brass cleaning solution for a more intense cleaning.

  • Copper ornaments
  • Brass fittings

Important information before use

Do not use Antiquax Brass and Copper Bath on lacquered brass or copper. The treatment is intended for suitable bare brass and copper surfaces where tarnish can be safely removed.

It should also not be used on candlesticks with weighted bases or articles with porous attachments such as:

  • Wood
  • Leather
  • Horn
  • Enamel
  • Bone
  • Baize

Items containing these materials may be damaged by immersion or may trap the cleaning solution.

Always test a small, inconspicuous area first, particularly when cleaning valuable, antique or delicate objects.

Protective gloves should be worn when handling the product. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Brass and Copper Bath vs Brass and Copper Polish

Antiquax Brass and Copper Bath is an immersion treatment and is particularly useful for smaller items with engraved or filigree details. It removes the need to rub the surface with a polishing cloth.

Antiquax Copper and Brass Polish is applied directly to the surface with a soft cloth and then buffed. It is often the more convenient option for larger objects or items that cannot be safely immersed.

If brass or copper is extremely dirty, greasy or heavily contaminated, a more intensive brass cleaning solution may be more appropriate before polishing or finishing.
