Should You Clean Bronze?

It is essential to clean your bronze piece of art regularly, so the original sculpture does not suffer from dust accumulation, oxidation, or corrosion. Many people do not know how to polish bronze statues and how to remove oxidation from bronze properly.

How do you care for bronze?

Bronze sculpture should be dusted with a soft clean cloth or soft brush (such as a shoe brush, or paint brush). Commercial products should never be used, as chemicals and even water will react with the bronze and damage the patina.

What will ruin bronze?

Bronze disease is active corrosion, meaning that your bronze item is not protected and is continually corroding. This can lead to serious damage of your bronze item. Bronze disease usually occurs in areas with salts in the air, ammonia pollution or continual high humidity.
