1. Dust regularly
A brass bed is durable, but dust and fine dirt particles can dull its shine over time. Use a soft microfiber cloth to lightly wipe down the frame once or twice a week. Avoid hard cloths or paper towels, as these can cause micro-scratches.
2. Gentle cleansing
For light dirt or fingerprints, a mixture of lukewarm water and a few drops of mild soap is sufficient. Lightly dampen a soft cloth, gently wipe the frame clean, and immediately dry it with a dry cloth. This prevents staining.
3. Restore shine
Want to restore the original shine of your brass? Use a brass polish without abrasives. Apply a small amount with a soft cloth, rub in circular motions, and then remove any excess product with a clean, dry cloth. A light polish every few months is sufficient.
The Coralie bed is a good example of a high-gloss brass frame that retains its elegant appearance for years with minimal care.
4. Protection against attack
In damp areas, brass may discolor slightly over time. This is a natural process that forms patina. If you want to prevent this, apply a thin layer of colorless beeswax or car wax. This forms a subtle protective layer without depriving the metal of its natural shine.
5. Brass versus other finishes
Unlike patinated finishes, brass requires a little more maintenance, but the shine and luxurious look are well worth it. By comparison, a model such as the Amaranta with its silver accents requires 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, mild cleaning, and occasional gentle polishing, your FerroBellissimo bed will remain as good as new for years to come. Easy maintenance for timeless beauty.
