Signature Brass Chopsticks Inc. Rest

Preparation before use – Brass & Marble Care

• Before first use, gently clean your brass piece with a soft, dry cloth to remove any packaging residue
• For marble components, apply a high-quality stone sealant to protect the surface
• Ensure your hands are clean and dry when handling to prevent water spots and fingerprints
• Place items on a soft cloth or mat to protect both the piece and your counter surface
• Keep cleaning supplies nearby: soft cloths, marble-safe cleaner, and brass polish if desired
• Consider the placement location – away from direct sunlight and cooking splatter zones

Care and maintenance

• Clean brass components regularly with a soft, dry cloth – avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials
• For deeper cleaning, use only mild soap and water, drying thoroughly immediately after
• Marble surfaces should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and dried promptly to prevent water marks
• Apply marble sealant every 6 months to maintain protection against stains and moisture
• For brass, choose whether to maintain original shine with polish or allow natural patina development
• If polishing brass, use only high-quality brass polish and follow a gentle, circular motion
• Handle with dry hands always to prevent water spots and minimise cleaning needs
• Store cleaning materials separately to avoid cross-contamination

Precautions for Use

• Never use acidic cleaners or citrus-based products on marble surfaces
• Avoid abrasive cleaning tools that might scratch either brass or marble
• Prevent prolonged water exposure on marble surfaces
• Don’t place hot items directly on marble components
• Avoid dropping or knocking pieces against hard surfaces
• Keep away from harsh chemicals and cooking oils that might affect the finish
• Never use bleach or ammonia-based cleaners
• If unsure about a cleaning product, test on a small, hidden area first

Remember: Our brass and marble pieces are crafted to last generations with proper care. Their natural materials will age beautifully, developing character while maintaining functionality. Regular, gentle maintenance will ensure they remain stunning additions to your kitchen space.
