Product Care
How do I clean and maintain brass items to keep them shining?
To clean brass, use a mild solution of warm water, soap, and a soft cloth. Always dry brass items immediately to prevent water spots and tarnish.
What is the best way to care for and clean copper kitchenware?
Copper care is simple: wash with a mild detergent and dry thoroughly. To restore the famous copper shine, use a natural pitting agent like tamarind paste or a
specialized copper cleaner. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
Is it safe to wash Adaak brass and copper products in a dishwasher?
No, we highly recommend hand-washing all Adaak brass and copper products. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can cause discoloration and accelerate patina formation, damaging the finish.
How to remove tarnish from copper and brass effectively?
To remove tarnish, gently rub a paste made of vinegar, salt, and flour onto the surface, leave for a few minutes, then rinse and buff dry. This is a simple, natural way to polish brass and copper.
Why does my copper water bottle turn dark inside, and is it safe?
The darkening inside your copper bottle is a natural process called oxidation or patina formation, which is completely normal and safe. This layer is beneficial and indicates the copper is active.
Benefits of Brass and Copper
What are the health benefits of drinking water from a copper vessel?
Drinking copper-infused water (known as Tamra Jal) is linked to numerous Ayurvedic benefits, including improving digestion, boosting immunity, and acting as a natural antioxidant. Copper is a vital trace mineral.
Is brass a safe and durable material for kitchen and home use?
Yes, brass is highly durable, non-toxic, and has antimicrobial properties, making it
a very safe material for serveware and home use. It’s an eco-friendly and long-lasting alternative to plastic.
How does copper's antimicrobial property benefit kitchenware?
Copper is naturally antimicrobial; it can kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This makes copper utensils and water storage highly hygienic for your family's health and safety.
What is the patina process on brass and copper, and is it desirable?
Patina is the natural, often green or brown, film that forms on the surface of brass
and copper as they oxidize. Many people find this antique-looking patina desirable as it adds character, charm, and a protective layer.

Both are excellent. Brass decor offers a rich, golden, and traditional look, whereas
