CLEANING OF BRASS OIL LAMP

On account of its bright, golden colour, the brass material has been widely accepted in-home designs. However, brass may become dull and tarnished over time. A good piece will last for a very long time even generations with a little care and maintenance. To ensure this, Keep your lamp clean, neat and dry when not in use. Preservation of its shining is most important while maintaining a brass lamp. This can be done by regular cleaning of the product l, else shining will be reduced. An industrial product such as Pitambari, Dhara can be used specifically for cleaning Vilakku. It is easily available in Indian markets and if you are residing outside India, you can use any of the below-mentioned recipes:

Take a mixture of table salt and fresh lemon juice (White vinegar can be used instead of lemon). Rub this mixture on the surface until it becomes clear. Wash with plain water and wipe off the excess water immediately with a cotton cloth.
You can also use tamarind paste instead of the first mixture. After soaking up some tamarind in warm water, in order to make it soft, use the pulp to rub the surface of your lamp. Wash with water and wipe off the excess water with a cotton cloth.
Make sure that you use a cotton cloth for wiping off the excess water after rinsing your brass Nilavilak. Failing this will cause a formation of watermarks on the Nilavilak which is hard to get rid of.
Avoid rubbing your brass lamp with an abrasive scrubber which may leave scratches. A cotton cloth is preferred for rubbing. Above mentioned methods will keep the Nilavilakku shiny and worthy for a long period of time.
