Frequency: Clean your bronze sculpture every few months or as needed, especially if it’s outdoors or in a dusty environment.
Materials Needed:
Soft, lint-free cloth or sponge
Mild soap (such as dish soap)
Warm water
Procedure:
Mix a small amount of mild soap with warm water.
Dampen the cloth or sponge with the soapy water.
Gently wipe the surface of the sculpture to remove dirt and grime.
Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Natural Patina: Bronze develops a patina over time, which can be desirable. If you prefer to maintain the original finish:
Avoid exposure to moisture and humidity.
Store in a climate-controlled environment if indoors.

Inspection: Regularly inspect for signs of corrosion, such as greenish discoloration.
Cleaning Corrosion:
If corrosion is present, use a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water. Apply gently with a soft cloth, and then rinse and dry.

Frequency: Wax the sculpture every 6-12 months to protect the surface.
Materials Needed:
Carnauba wax or microcrystalline wax
Soft cloth
Procedure:
Apply a thin layer of wax with a soft cloth.
Allow it to dry for a few minutes.
Buff the surface to a shine with a clean cloth.

Indoors: Keep away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and humidity sources.
Outdoors: Position away from excessive moisture (like sprinklers) and ensure proper drainage around the base.

Gloves: Wear cotton gloves when handling the sculpture to prevent oils from your skin from causing discoloration.
Support: Always lift sculptures with both hands and avoid dragging them to prevent scratches.

Professional Help: For significant damage or corrosion, consult a professional conservator who specializes in bronze restoration.

Record Keeping: Keep a record of maintenance activities, including cleaning, waxing, and any repairs.
By following these guidelines, you can help preserve the beauty and integrity of your bronze sculpture for many years to come.
