Healthy Price<\/strong>“<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAloha Customers considering buying our Beautiful Copper Drinking Water Pitcher:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Please note that these\u00a0pitchers can have black or green discolorations sometimes outside or inside them when received or after using the pitchers. These spots do not cause any health issues and can be cleaned as indicated below. If you do not want the possibility of these spots, please do not buy these beautiful pitchers. My Wife and I have used them for years and like them, but each person is different.<\/p>\n
The black and green spots you’re observing on copper drinking\u00a0pitchers<\/span>\u00a0are likely signs of oxidation and tarnishing. Copper, being a reactive metal, undergoes a process called patination when exposed to air and moisture. This process can result in the formation of green spots (verdigris) and black areas (copper oxide).<\/p>\n
Using Dawn Dishwasher Soap:<\/strong>\u00a0Generally, dish soaps like Dawn are safe for cleaning copper, as they are gentle and effective at removing grease and grime. However, they may not be sufficient to remove heavy oxidation or tarnish.<\/p>\n
Best Method to Clean and Remove Black and Green Spots:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n- Vinegar and Salt Solution:<\/strong>\u00a0Mix equal parts of white vinegar and salt. Apply this mixture to the tarnished areas and rub gently with a soft cloth or sponge. The acid in the vinegar and the abrasiveness of the salt can help remove tarnishing.<\/li>\n
- Lemon and Salt:<\/strong>\u00a0Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle salt on its cut side, and rub this over the spots. Lemon’s natural acidity and salt’s abrasiveness work well together.<\/li>\n
- Baking Soda Paste:<\/strong>\u00a0Make a paste with baking soda and water. Apply it to the spots and gently scrub. This is a mild abrasive and can be effective in removing tarnish.<\/li>\n
- Commercial Copper Cleaners:<\/strong>\u00a0If home remedies don’t work, you might consider a commercial copper cleaner. These are formulated specifically for cleaning copper and can be very effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Important Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n- Always rinse the\u00a0pitchers<\/span>\u00a0thoroughly with water after cleaning.<\/li>\n
- Dry it completely to prevent further oxidation.<\/li>\n
- Test any cleaning method on a small, inconspicuous area first.<\/li>\n
- Avoid using harsh abrasives or steel wool, as these can scratch the copper.<\/li>\n
- Regular cleaning can prevent heavy tarnish buildup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Remember, the patina that develops on copper can be considered desirable by some, as it gives the metal an antique look. However, if you prefer your copper shiny and bright, regular cleaning is necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
