Brass Care

Keeping your fod grade brass pieces from Vaarsa London is easier than you think. Simple steps you can use:

📌Start by gently emptying the spice box and transferring the masalas into clean dry bowls and hand wash the residue.

📌Then for the deep clean, mix Pitambri powder with a little water to make a thick paste. Apply it on the brass in gentle circular motions. Let it sit for a minute then rub again, especially over tarnished spots. It’s normal if the paste darkens, that means it’s working.

📌Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely using a soft microfibre cloth before you use it again.

And that’s it, your brass, cleaned, cared for, and glowing like new
