Important information before use

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.
