Copper Care
The Nature of Copper
Ever have an old perfect pair of blue jeans? Or a comfortable pair of
broken-in boots? Time breaks these things in, and the way we use
them molds them to our shape. Copper is a lot like that. If you’ve
ever compared a shiny new penny to an older penny, you see the
difference in color. That’s because copper has a living nish that
changes and evolves with how you use it. It’s what makes copper
beautiful and raw. The living nish is called the patina, and it’s a
natural protective coating that ensures copper won’t corrode.
The patina of your copper sink will always change. Certain acidic
foods or chemicals will strip it off, and time will bring it back. It will go
from light to dark, from extreme to subtle, but one thing’s for sure: it
will always be changing.
Just like with life, change is the only constant.
And change is good.
