The natural patina (surface appearance of something grown beautiful especially with age or use) of drop is an important aspect of the design. We recommend that if drop is used for display or serving of food that it is cleaned immediately after use, using mild soapy water and a sponge or a microfibre cloth. Dry using a microfibre cloth.
Commercial steel cleaners are not recommended. Please note that steel polish may have an abrasive effect, especially on surfaces with a mirror finish. We do not recommend washing drop in the dishwasher, as this will scratch the piece, while the salt and detergent may leave black marks and spots on the surface.
