Caring for brass
Did you know that at Bastant Design you get a lifetime guarantee on all our products? Luxury and quality should last for everyday life, and our products are made to last. When you invest in quality, you only have to buy it once.
The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects and functional problems. It does not apply to normal wear and tear, surface changes, or the beautiful patina that is part of the natural beauty of the materials.
Brass and patination
Your chosen product from Bastant Design can last you a lifetime if you take good care of it. Our designs in real, raw brass will patina over time, but with some simple tips and tricks you can easily refresh and clean your interior.
All our brass products are made from pure and genuine material. Something we are really proud of! With us you will not find harmful brass varnish or brass coating on cheap materials, but a pure natural product made from completely genuine materials. You should therefore also expect that brass will eventually develop a patina and achieve the beautiful warmth of a life lived with you, exactly what many strive for when they consciously go for pure brass for their home.
If you want a uniform and not too intense patina, protect your brass products from concentrated cleaning agents and soap as well as prolonged contact with water, as they develop their patina most evenly through normal handling and the oxygenation in the room. Therefore, if you use brass in your shower enclosure, for example, you should expect the patina to develop very quickly - and it should also be conscious, if you go for raw, untreated brass as a material in shower enclosures, etc., that you like the very unique and beautiful look it will get over time.
Care and cleaning of brass
If your brass still needs cleaning, there are various methods to "freshen up" brass. We advise against using harsh chemicals, abrasive or scrubbing agents, and cleaning sponges, as this can damage the finish.
Brushed and burnished brass can be cared for with a normal acid-free oil, such as Vaseline oil from the hardware store or olive oil from your kitchen. This will make the brass more saturated, just like a wooden tabletop, and give it a protective surface. Use a clean, soft cloth with a good dab of oil to completely coat the material, and then use a dry tea towel to wipe off any excess oil.
For our polished brass designs, a glass cleaner can do the job for you. Remember to use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off the cleaner. Polished brass will become dull when oiled, so this care process should be avoided.
If your brushed or polished brass has acquired more patina than you like, you can dip half a lemon in baking soda and start "washing" the material. (The process is not recommended for burnished brass, as it will ruin the burnishing!) Repeat until you see no more dark color coming off and rinse the product under lukewarm water and dry. Then saturate the brushed brass with a good olive oil or vaseline oil as described above (do not use oil on polished brass if you want to maintain the shiny surface).
You can also find other recipes for homemade cleaning products online or purchase various varnishes and polishes for a more extensive refresh. These options will always be at the customer's own risk.
Care and cleaning of stainless steel and powder coated
Your designs in stainless steel and powder coated white or black can withstand most things. You can clean them as you would normally clean your bathroom or kitchen. Stainless steel, like brass, likes to be cared for with acid-free oil such as olive oil. This will saturate the material, give it a new shine and provide some protection.
