CLEANING AND CARE
Cleaning your bronze tiles
You can clean Foundry Art bronze tiles with any common household cleaner - the same way you clean the surrounding stone or ceramic tile. No special cleaning agents are required.
You should, however, avoid acid-based cleaners, such as commercial-strength stone cleaners. (Household cleaners typically do not contain acid.) If left on the tiles for a period of time, acids may temporarily alter the tiles’ patina. But Foundry Art bronze is extremely resilient. Even if the tiles have been dulled with acid, you can easily restore the original brightness.
Making your bronze tiles bright again
To restore their original brightness, Foundry Art tiles may be polished quickly and easily with a soft abrasive pad such as Scotch Brite. If the tiles have darkened significantly, you can polish them with copper or brass cleaner. Lightly waxing the newly polished tiles with paste wax will help them retain their brightness.
