basin maintenance instructions

Solar Disc

With regular care these basins will last for generations. The exterior needs very little care. A very light coating of Johnson's Paste Wax applied with a soft brush about once a year will preserve the original patina's colors. Water spots can be easily removed with metal polish. You will get good results with Brasso.
It's important to remember that bronze is a relatively soft metal. Some wear and tear is inevitable. (Note: Hammered interiors will conceal stains and scratches more than highly polished finishes.) You can restore any basin's interior to its original finish. All you have to do to remove light scratches and shallow dents is to sand and buff the surface. Avoid placing heavy glassware or metal objects in the basin since they can cause damage.
