Our brass and kansa items are designed to be a part of your daily life. With just a bit of care, they can retain their beauty and serve you for years. Here’s how to clean and maintain your Little Divinity products:
1. Utensils (Brass and Kansa)
-
Daily Cleaning: Wash your brass and kansa utensils as you would with any other dishes using mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Rinse well and pat dry immediately to prevent water stains.
-
Weekly Deep Clean: Once a week, use Pitambari or any other brass cleaning powder for a deeper shine.
-
How to Use: Wet the utensil and sprinkle a small amount of Pitambari powder on it.
- Gently scrub using a soft sponge in circular motions.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
-
Natural Polish: For extra shine, you can use a homemade mix of lemon juice and baking soda. Apply the paste, scrub gently, rinse, and dry well.
2. Idols with Antique Finish
-
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface and remove any dust.
-
Deep Clean: Occasionally, you can use a damp cloth to wipe the idol gently. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
-
Sun Drying & Oiling: After cleaning, place the idol under sunlight for an hour. This helps to naturally dry the item and brings out its shine.
-
Finishing Touch: Once dry, apply a small amount of coconut oil to the idol with a soft cloth. This not only enhances the shine but also protects the finish.
3. Idols with Colored Finish
-
Gentle Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the surface without scrubbing.
-
Drying: After wiping, let the idol dry naturally under a fan or in sunlight. Avoid direct contact with water to preserve the colored finish.
