Care & Maintenance:
To preserve the beauty and performance of your handcrafted Portuguese copper tea kettle, hand wash with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge after each use. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, harsh detergents, and the dishwasher, as these can damage both the polished copper exterior and the traditional tin lining. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to help prevent water spots and maintain its brilliant finish.
Over time, the genuine copper exterior may naturally develop a rich patina—a hallmark of authentic copper that many owners appreciate. If you prefer to maintain its original mirror-like shine, periodically polish only the exterior with a quality copper polish or a natural mixture of lemon juice and salt, taking care to avoid the tin-lined interior.
For best results, use low to medium heat and avoid overheating an empty kettle. The traditional tin lining is designed to protect the contents while preserving the natural flavor of tea and other hot beverages. With proper care, this handcrafted Portuguese tea kettle will provide years of dependable use while remaining a beautiful heirloom-quality piece for your kitchen.
