My wife cleans her brass and copper with Brasso...Really bad bits get salt/lemon mix....I don't think there's a room in the house without brass something or the other in it....All gets good clean at Spring clean then rubbed over during the year once or twice.....She was good even when she was young,,used to clean my brass bits on RAF uniform,,we were only courting then...Regards...LES. :-) :-) :-) |

If anyone still wants to keep their brass,I found a few years ago a metal polish called MAAS.,which is long lasting. |

More 'stuff' to gather dust. All mine (and those I interited from Gran and Mum) we long ago to the charity shop. Let someone else dust and polish them!!! |

I have a few brass ornaments that were treasured by my grandparents and parents. |

My grandfather, who was a silversmith used to recommend salt, mixed to a paste with lemon juice. |

I prefer something a bit thicker like Daddies or HP. |

How many of you have brass ornaments hidden in cupboards because they're so horrible to clean? Messy & time consuming! |
