Care

Keep Your Janak Bronze Products Shining for Generations

Your Janak Bronze products are crafted from pure Bronze (Kansa), Brass & Copper — natural metals that require simple, mindful care. With the right maintenance, these products will last a lifetime and beyond.

🥉 Bronze (Kansa) Care Instructions

✅ Cleaning

  • Wash with warm water and mild liquid soap
  • Use a soft cloth or sponge — never steel wool or abrasive scrubbers
  • Dry immediately after washing with a soft dry cloth
  • Do not soak in water for long periods
  • Do not use dishwasher — always hand wash

✅ Restoring Shine

  • Mix lemon juice + salt and rub gently on the surface
  • Or use a paste of tamarind + salt for deeper cleaning
  • Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry immediately
  • You can also use a natural metal polish available at local stores

⚠️ Important Don'ts

  • ❌ Do not store acidic foods (lemon, tamarind, vinegar) for long periods
  • ❌ Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach
  • ❌ Do not microwave — metal is not microwave safe
  • ❌ Do not refrigerate food in Kansa vessels for extended periods

💡 Pro Tip

A natural dark patina may develop over time on Bronze — this is completely normal and a sign of pure metal. It does not affect the health benefits. Simply clean with lemon and salt to restore the original shine.

🟡 Brass Care Instructions

✅ Cleaning

  • Wash with warm water and mild soap
  • Use a soft cloth — avoid abrasive materials
  • Dry immediately after washing
  • Do not use dishwasher

✅ Restoring Shine

  • Rub with lemon juice + baking soda paste
  • Or use tomato ketchup — leave for 10 minutes, then rinse
  • Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth

⚠️ Important Don'ts

  • ❌ Do not store acidic or salty foods for long periods
  • ❌ Do not use steel scrubbers
  • ❌ Do not microwave

💡 Pro Tip

Brass naturally develops a golden patina over time. This is a sign of pure brass and adds to its vintage charm. Clean regularly to maintain its bright golden shine.

🟠 Copper Care Instructions

✅ Cleaning

  • Wash with warm water and mild soap daily
  • Use a soft sponge or cloth
  • Dry immediately — copper can develop water spots if left wet
  • Do not use dishwasher

✅ Restoring Shine

  • Use lemon + salt — the most effective natural cleaner for copper
  • Or make a paste of flour + salt + white vinegar, apply, leave for 10 minutes, rinse
  • Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately

⚠️ Important Don'ts

  • ❌ Do not store milk, curd, or acidic drinks in copper for long periods
  • ❌ Do not use harsh chemicals
  • ❌ Do not microwave
  • ❌ Do not store hot liquids for extended periods

💡 Pro Tip

For Ayurvedic benefits, store water overnight in a Copper vessel and drink it first thing in the morning. Clean the vessel every 2–3 days to prevent green oxidation (verdigris) from forming inside.

📦 Storage Tips (All Metals)

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture
  • Wrap in a soft cloth if storing for long periods
  • Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods
  • Store separately to avoid scratching

❓ Common Questions

Q: My product has turned dark. Is it damaged?

No! Darkening is a natural oxidation process in pure metals. It is a sign of authenticity. Simply clean with lemon and salt to restore the shine.

Q: There is a greenish layer on my Copper product. What should I do?

This is called verdigris — a natural oxidation of copper. It is harmless on the outside but should be cleaned from the inside. Use lemon + salt to clean thoroughly and rinse well.

Q: Can I use these products every day?

Absolutely! Daily use is encouraged — it keeps the metal active and maximizes health benefits. Just clean regularly after each use.
