To preserve the natural beauty and Ayurvedic benefits of your Harishyam Arts Kansa Bronze Nasta Plate, proper care is essential. Crafted from pure brass (Kansa), this plate requires gentle handling to maintain its shine, durability, and traditional appeal.

After each use, rinse the plate with warm water to remove any food residue. It’s best to avoid prolonged soaking as it may cause oxidation or tarnishing. Use a mild, natural soap and a soft cloth or sponge when cleaning. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, harsh detergents, or steel wool to protect the plate’s smooth surface and intricate handcrafted details.

Dry the plate immediately with a soft, absorbent cloth to prevent water spots and moisture buildup. Over time, Kansa naturally develops a patina, which adds character and is often appreciated as a mark of authenticity. However, if you prefer a polished look, you can gently polish the plate occasionally.

For natural polishing, mix lemon juice with baking soda or use tamarind pulp diluted with water to create a mild paste. Apply this with a soft cloth in circular motions, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. This method helps restore the plate’s original luster while preserving its Ayurvedic qualities.

Avoid exposing the plate to extreme temperatures, direct flames, or dishwashers, as these can damage the brass and handcrafted finish. When not in use, store the plate in a dry, cool place, preferably wrapped in a soft cloth to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.

Following these simple care instructions will ensure your Kansa dessert plate set remains a treasured part of your kitchen, offering elegance, health benefits, and cultural heritage for years to come.
