The Care and Keeping of Brass
Like all metals, brass may tarnish over time. Fortunately, there are simple (and super cheap) ways to correct this:
- Using a cloth or toothbrush, go over the item with soapy, warm water.
- If additional care is needed, rub a thin layer of ketchup (yes, ketchup!) or tomato paste on the product.
- Let sit for about 15 seconds.
- Rinse with hot, soapy water.
