Tips For Cleaning Copper Vases

Cleaning copper vases can seem daunting, but it is an important part of keeping them looking beautiful and in good condition. Copper is a soft metal, so it can become tarnished easily, but with a few simple tips, you can keep your copper vases looking their best.

 1. Start by wiping the vase down with a damp cloth. This will clear the vase's surface of any debris or dust that has accumulated there.

2. In a pail of warm water, add a few drops of mild dish soap. The vase should soak in the soapy water for around 20 minutes. This will assist in clearing the vase of any debris or residue.

 3. Take the vase out of the soapy water and give it a gentle scrape. To prevent scratching the vase's surface, be sure to apply light strokes. 

4. Use clean water to rinse the vase to get rid of any soap residue.

5. To remove stubborn grime and stains, use baking soda and water to make a paste. Place the paste on the vase, let it sit for ten to fifteen minutes, then remove it.The paste should then be removed with a gentle cloth.

 6. To bring out the shine in the copper, apply a metal polish to the vase and buff it with a soft cloth. 

7. If you reside in a region with hard water, you might notice streaks or areas of white on the vase..White vinegar and water should be combined equally and applied to the vase with a delicate cloth to get rid of them. After letting it sit for a while, rinse it with fresh water. 

8. To protect the vase from tarnishing, apply a coat of wax. This will help to seal in the copper’s natural shine and prevent oxidation. 

9. After each usage, dry the vase with a gentle towel to avoid water stains. 

10. Keep the vase clean frequently, and store it somewhere cool and dry to keep it looking brand new.
