1. Dust regularly
A brass bed is durable, but over time dust and fine dirt can dull its shine. Use a soft microfibre cloth to wipe the frame lightly once or twice a week. Avoid rough cloths or kitchen roll, which can cause micro-scratches.
2. Gentle cleaning
For light dirt or fingerprints, a mixture of lukewarm water and a few drops of mild soap is enough. Lightly dampen a soft cloth, wipe the frame gently and dry it straight away with a dry cloth. This prevents marks.
3. Restoring the shine
Want to bring back the original shine of the brass? Use a non-abrasive brass polish. Apply a small amount with a soft cloth, rub in circular movements and then remove any excess with a clean, dry cloth. A light polish every few months is enough.
The Coralie bed is a good example of a high-gloss brass frame that keeps its elegant look for years with minimal care.
4. Protection against tarnish
In damp rooms, brass can discolour slightly over time. This is a natural process that forms a patina. If you want to prevent it, apply a thin layer of colourless beeswax or car wax. This creates a subtle protective layer without taking away the metal's natural shine.
5. Brass versus other finishes
Compared with patinated finishes, brass needs a little more care, but its shine and luxurious look make it more than worth it. By comparison, a model such as the Amaranta, with its silver-coloured accents, needs less maintenance but lacks the warm, golden charm of real brass.
6. Summary
A brass bed such as the Coralie bed combines elegance with durability. With regular dusting, gentle cleaning and an occasional light polish, your FerroBellissimo bed will stay as good as new for years. Simple care for timeless beauty.
