1. Wipe with a soft cloth
After use, wipe gently with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or fingerprints. A microfiber cloth is effective for this purpose.

2. Dry well after washing with water
Wash the product lightly with water if necessary, and then wipe it dry with a soft cloth immediately afterwards. If detergent is used, be sure to use a neutral detergent. After washing, wipe thoroughly and dry completely in a well-ventilated place. Thorough drying is necessary because residual moisture can cause discoloration and rust.

Tin is sensitive to acidic and alkaline substances. Sweat, perfume, cosmetics, etc. adhering to tin can cause discoloration and corrosion. It is always recommended to wipe them off carefully after use.
