Copper Fountain Care: Preserve Patina or Polish Shine

Copper fountains age beautifully—but maintenance differs by finish.

Clear-Coated (Anti-Patina)

Clean with furniture polish or car wax on soft cloth. Reapply wax every few months. Eventually oxidation penetrates; green emerges.

Natural Finish (Pro-Patina)

Clean with non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. Polish with furniture wax to slow grime buildup. Embrace the living finish.

Universal Care

Top off water (evaporation). Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Winter: pull pump, cover, or move indoors in freeze zones.

Choose your aesthetic; maintain accordingly.
