Before first use
• Rinse the bottle thoroughly with clean water.
• Fill it with plain water and let it soak for at least 12 hours.
• Empty and rinse again before regular use.
Do’s
• Use plain, still, cold, or room-temperature water only.
• Expect natural patina or color changes; this is normal and indicates authentic copper.
• Always keep the lid fastened tightly to minimize tarnishing.
• Clean regularly to maintain optimal performance and avoid green patina (verdigris).
Don’ts
• Avoid storing acidic, carbonated, or hot liquids, as these can corrode the copper and cause excessive leaching.
• Do not store the bottle in the refrigerator.
• Never use a dishwasher to clean copper vessels.
• Prevent hard impacts, as copper is a soft metal and can dent or deform easily.
How to Maintain
• Hand wash with a mild soap or a natural cleaner like lemon and salt to remove tarnish.
• To clean green patina (verdigris), gently scrub with a mixture of vinegar and salt or use a natural copper cleaner.
• Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Store in a cool, dry place with the lid on when not in use to reduce oxidation.
Black Spots?
• Black, brown, or green spots may develop on your copper bottle. These are natural signs of pure copper and indicate authenticity.
• These spots or residue are harmless and can be cleaned to restore the botte’s shine.
• Changes in color and patina reflect the genuine nature of copper and showcase its unique craftsmanship.
• Embrace the distinctive look of your copper bottle as part of its charm and beauty.
