Caring Instructions

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.

4. Idols Without Polish (Raw Brass)

  • Regular Cleaning: For a quick shine, use a soft, dry cloth to buff the idol.
  • Deep Shine: Occasionally, you can use brass cleaning powders like Pitambari. Follow these steps:
    • Wet the idol and apply a small amount of the cleaning powder.
    • Gently scrub with a soft sponge and rinse thoroughly.
    • Dry immediately to avoid any watermarks.
  • Natural Shine: You can also use a paste of lemon juice and baking soda. Apply gently, rinse off, and dry well.
