How do I clean and look after my stainless steel sculpture?

Simple Care for Lasting Shine

Maintaining the brilliance of your Michael Turner sculpture is easy! Here’s what you need to know:

Regular Dusting: For everyday cleaning, gentle dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth is all that’s required. This will remove any accumulated dust or cobwebs without scratching the surface.

Fingerprint Removal: For fingerprints or minor smudges, a mild dish soap diluted with warm water can be used. Apply the solution to the cloth, not directly to the sculpture. Wipe the surface gently, then dry thoroughly with another clean, soft cloth.

What to Avoid:

Harsh Cleaners: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool. These can scratch the surface and dull the shine.

Strong Chemicals: Skip harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia. These can damage the stainless steel and leave unsightly marks.

Salt and Harsh Minerals: If your sculpture is located near saltwater or areas with high mineral content in the water, rinse it occasionally with clean water to prevent any residue buildup.

By following these simple cleaning tips, you can ensure your Michael Turner sculpture continues to be a stunning addition to your home or outdoor space for years to come.

Commissioning Larger-Scale Garden Sculptures:

To commission a bespoke stainless steel sculpture for your garden, we recommend visiting our dedicated Commissions page and submitting a brief inquiry. Jenny or Michael will then be in touch to discuss your vision and answer any questions you may have.

Collaborative Design Process:

Michael will work closely with you to develop the perfect sculpture for your garden. This includes creating sketches based on your ideas and preferences for size and style. Once you are completely satisfied with the concept, we will secure a dedicated time slot for production and request a 50% deposit to confirm your booking.

Progress Updates and Final Approval:

Throughout the creation process, we will keep you informed with progress updates. Once your sculpture is complete, we will send you high-quality images and videos for your final approval. Alternatively, if you are located nearby, you are welcome to visit Michael’s workshop to view the finished piece in person. We will only request the remaining balance payment upon your complete satisfaction.

Delivery and Installation:

For clients located within the New Forest area, Michael will personally deliver your sculpture. For those further afield, both domestic and international shipping options are available, and associated costs will be discussed in advance.
