Polishing pads are small foam pads with carbon within them which are made to polish brass (most of our pieces), silver and copper. They are great for bringing out the shine in tarnished metals. As we prefer to use raw brass in our pieces for the earthy feel of the metals, this also allows for polishing.

Instructions : Protect lace, wood or leather with “scotch” tape or masking tape before polishing as the carbon within the pads will darken or stain materials other than the metals. Polish in a circular movement for optimal results.

Please note that we do not recommend polishing plated metals (shiny gold or silver toned items) since this may remove plating. If you aren’t sure which of your This Ilk pieces can be polished, please inquire via our “contact” button.
