Maintaining Your Brass Lota

Brass naturally develops a patina (tarnish) over time, but with a little care, you can keep your lotas shining brightly. Here’s how:

• Regular Cleaning Lota:

  • Clean your lotas occasionally with a specially formulated brass cleaning powder to remove tarnish and restore their shine.
  • Follow the instructions on the brass cleaning powder carefully.
  • For light cleaning, make a paste with lemon juice, salt, and baking soda. Rub it on the brass and wipe off with a clean, damp cloth.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or any harsh chemicals that can damage the delicate surface of the brass. These can leave permanent marks or discoloration.
  • Steel wool or scouring pads will scratch the brass. Stick to soft cloths or sponges.

• Hand Wash and Dry:

  • Always wash your lotas by hand to avoid damage, even if they seem dishwasher safe.
  • Use mild dish soap and warm water.
  • Dry thoroughly immediately after washing. Use a soft, absorbent cloth to prevent watermarks. Do not air dry.

Additional Tips:

• If you use your lotas for specific pooja rituals, clean them more regularly to maintain their purity.
• To slow down oxidation, try applying a thin layer of clear wax or polish specifically designed for brass after cleaning.
• If your lotas are heavily tarnish, consider professional brass cleaning services.

By following these simple guidelines, your Pure Heavy Brass Lota/Kalash will remain a beautiful and auspicious part of your spiritual practices and home for years to come.
