Homemade Brass Cleaner

Tweet

I have collected household hints for as long as I can remember, so I thought I would pass this one along to you fellow myLotters. I'm sure everyone knows how tarnished brass can get and how hard it can be to remove that tarnish. In the past I've always used a commercial brass cleaner, but the worsening of my skin condition has caused me to abandon most of the strong solutions that I have used. I had long been aware of the many wonderful uses for vinegar, but had to have my memory refreshed about using it to remove tarnish from brass. Other products listed as tarnish removers were: Tabasco sauce, Ketchup, tomato juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and, surprisingly, milk! Who knew? So, have you used any of these products to remove tarnish from brass, or silver?
