Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior of the grinder with a soft, dry cloth to keep the brass shining. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the brass. Clean the grinding mechanism occasionally by grinding a small amount of rice to remove any leftover spice residue.
Storage: Store the grinder in a cool, dry place to prevent exposure to moisture or humidity, which could affect the internal grinding mechanism. When not in use, keep the grinder in a safe place to prevent it from being knocked over or damaged.
Refilling: Use the side-opening to refill the grinder. Ensure that you are using dry, whole spices to maintain the grinding mechanism’s efficiency.
Maintenance: Brass may develop a patina over time, which many consider a sign of character. However, if you prefer the shiny look, you can polish the brass with a brass cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and salt.
