Caring for Your Copper Splashback

Keeping your copper splashback looking its best is easy. Simply wipe it down regularly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove marks, debris and spills. Use only mild detergents and avoid harsh chemical sprays, bleach or abrasive cleaning pads that may damage the lacquer or surface. Always dry the surface thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain its appearance.

Copper does not like acids or salts. If acidic substances (such as lemon juice or vinegar) or salts come into contact with your copper splashback, rinse immediately with fresh water then dry with a soft cloth to protect the metal finish.

With the proper care, your copper splashback will maintain its beautiful appearance for years to come.
