Brass Cleaning Tips

Start by squeezing the juice from half a lemon into a bowl. Add 1 tsp. baking soda and mix.

With a clean cloth, rub some of the mixture onto the brass. Polish and buff away grime, reapplying the mixture as needed.

Wipe away any leftover residue with a wet rag. Then dry with a clean cloth.

Just because an item looks like brass doesn't mean it's pure. Check the metal with a magnet; if it sticks, it's not real brass.
