Pewter Care

Over time, and with use, pewter will develop a classic subdued tone, one of pewter's unique properties. However, the brilliant Royal Selangor finish can be maintained with some simple cleaning tips.

Regardless of the finish, pewter should never be exposed to direct flame or heated surfaces, scrubbed with a brush or put in a dishwasher. Also, be aware that if you live by the ocean, atmospheric salts can dull pewter's surface - wipe occasionally with a damp cloth to lessen the effect.

For optimal care, follow these simple tips dependant on the items finish.

• Always wipe satin-finish pieces along its polish lines.

Wood and Pewter

• Wipe with a damp cloth, and dry immediately.
• An occasional application of linseed or olive oil to the wood improves its lustre.
