I have a copper tub and sinks. I need a wax due to hard water. Is this product safe and good for copper sinks/tub?

This is quite mild (non-abrasive) product that actually also includes bleach to clean. I would imagine it would work well on a larger surface because you don't need to use elbow grease. It is not a wax

This product is an excellent copper CLEANER. But if you want to preserve the copper-color finish, you'll probably have to find a different product. I know that when it comes to copper hardware (handles, doorplates and the like) you can use a wax or lacquer to preserve the color. I don't know what you could use on a sink; I suggest you contact the manufacturer and see if there is a specific sealer available.

I'm not sure about sinks but it is a fantastic product. I use it on my copper bottom cooking pans. It cleans/shines the pans like they are almost new and I've had the pans 40 years!!!

It may very well be. I'm no chemist and years ago a plumber told me on the sly after having to enlist his services to clear our sewer line for the umpteenth time that copper sulfate would do the trick. He didn't tell me the amount to use and I was a C- chemistry student in school. He retired about that time and I went along calling "Roto-Rooter" until I found this stuff in a catalog and bought it. I have a bottle that I'm going to dump in my system for the six month dose and the label indicates it is 99% Copper sulfate pentahydrate and 1% "other ingredients". I have used it for years now and have never had to make a service call to have my line "snaked". I've stayed with it because it has worked for me all these years and also because my ignorance of chemistry keeps me from wanting to use an inappropriate dose of copper sulfate that might screw up the pipes leading to the sewer and cost a large out of pocket expense for repairs. I hope that's helpful. Good luck!

Not sure... it's kind of like a very fine grade "soft soap". Depends on how bad the tub is, if there's any enamel coating left it will probably help but if the enamel shine has been worn almost down to the metal it probably won't yield the results your looking for. Won't make it any worse, though. You could try it on a small spot around the drain and see before trying to do the whole tub.

The best way to take care of your copper sink is surprisingly easy. For basic cleaning, simply use a mild soap, water and a sponge when necessary. You do not need other cleaning products. Do not use abrasive or harsh chemicals on any copper products as they can damage the surface. After each use, clean the product with a clean cloth. The copper finish (patina) never stops changing color. The evolution of a copper finish is gradual, and as time passes, it becomes even more beautiful. You can reduce this change with the use of wax. To help keep the copper sink with the best appearance possible, apply a thin layer of wax from time to time. The wax will help keep the shine of copper and promote better water runoff. To prevent discoloration or damage to the finish, avoid acidic substances and do not let them come in contact with the copper surface. Thoroughly rinse the sink after working with acidic substances like lemon, grapefruit, vinegar, hot sauce, etc. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as they can remove the patina and be sure to rinse the sink if one of these comes into contact with the sink. Do not use vinegar to clean the sink.

I have not tried this on an acrylic tub but, I have used this with both the blue pad and the bristle brush on my stainless steel sink, tile shower, flat cooktop range, porcelain bathroom sink...all without scratches. I think it might be safe to say it would be fine on an acrylic tub as long as you do not use an abrasive cleanser. I have been happy with my results in using this power scrubber. It has been effective for me and though it is not a miracle worker, it had cut down on "elbow grease" and time spent cleaning.

There is a Wrights cream polish made just for silver that I would use instead. It works very well on silver as the copper one works on copper and brass.

Wenol would be perfect for cleaning a tarnished copper tub. I just restored an antique brass bed that was badly tarnished. I tried Brasso, Wright's Copper Cream and Wenol. Wenol was BY FAR the superior product. Just apply a small amount with a clean cotton cloth and rub it in. Be prepared--it takes a lot of rubbing but you'll love the results!

I use the beeswax on my copper sinks to protect the patina, it works very well. I make stained glass and have used it on pieces that are outside on the zinc. I have not noticed a smell, so if there is one it is not noticeable. I have used this beeswax for over 2 years and it works great but I have not used it on wood.

STOP....STOP....PLEASE DON'T CLEAN YOUR COPPER BOTTOM PANS. Sorry to be an alarmist. If you scour your copper bottom pans they won't be copper bottomed for long. You'll end upwith brass bottom pans. The copper will wear off. The reason the copper is there is for efficient heating of your cooking. The copper shouldn't be shiny. It should be dark. Whew..I hope this warning is in time to save it..

I don't know. It is a brush, but not super hard. I need it for my old tub. Really haven't a clue what it would do to yours! Sorry....

I use it for my copper sink in the kitchen. It helps the water run off and gives it a beautiful sheen which last a few weeks. I understand it is safe for most metals but I have not tried it on anything else. Its a petroleum product, I believe, so not sure with the fumes but you might try a small test spot first.

This is a strong product which works very well. I thought I would need to replace my tub but it made it like new. You can try a small area first on your awning to see how it works on that surface before doing a large area. If it doesn't seem to be pulling the color off of it then you should be safe to use it for the entire awning. Hope this was helpful.

I had both silver and brass candlestick holders where the candle wax dripped down the sides, what a mess. I used a pair of tweezers to remove as much of the dried wax as possible (carefully, so I did not scratch the ) then I put Wei ans Wax Away on a old all white cotton washcloth, and allowed five minutes for the W Wax Away to penetrate the wax and simply wiped off the excess was. This is a wonderful product, and I believe you will be pleased with the results.

Hi, David! You should have good results using it on your copper table tops. Artists and craftsmen who work in bronze and copper often use it to protect their creations. It's also used on copper sinks, range hoods, and countertops. According to the manufacturer, it is food safe, so even using it on a dinner table would be perfectly fine. If you're new to paste wax, don't forget that it's the real deal; a little goes a long way. You want a nice, thin coating. When it is sufficiently dry (experiment with this) then buff away. You'll be hooked on TreWax in very short order. This stuff is wonderful! Hi, David! You should have good results using it on your copper table tops.

You might have to go get some additional large washers to provide a surface to go against the side of the tub. There is a plastic lock nut system that goes on the same threads the supply lines hook up to. I was able to get mine to be stable. Go to the Kingston Brass website and you can view parts diagrams for the various faucets by model number.

This is wonderful wax for linoleum floors as well a wide variety of surfaces in addition to wood. Since the company that manufactured it advised using furniture paste wax, I would feel safe using this. I have never had occasion to use it on copper so I would probably test it on a SMALL area and wait a day to see if it caused any problems. Perhaps even something else you have that is copper? I will be interested in knowing how well it does work. Good luck.

Yup! It's a lot of wax so it is meant for multiple uses. I just store it under the bathroom sink in the metal think it comes in. I really recommend the wax warmer.
