I going to try it! I have some huge brass candleholders that probably came from a church and I've tried everything else.
Thanks for the hint!

I used the KoolAid straight from the package. It was the old style kind. The kind which you need to add sugar to drink. I doubt if the sugar would add or detract to the process except to make it much stickier. I'd leave the sugar out and just pour the KoolAid powder into the water. About 1 pkg. per gallon of water would work.
Yes, it would be best to pick a color that won't stain so badly. My hands have come clean by this morning and are no longer red. I wanted to try it and red colors were the only ones I had on hand.
I've used other things and there is usually a smell associated with cleaning brass, even with natural products. I didn't notice the smell using KoolAid, it just smelled fruity. - Susan

I bet if you use Koolade Lemonade your hands wouldn't get stained.I have to try this, just for the fun factor. - Linne Dodds

I'm interested in the brass cleaning procedure using Koolaid. Is the Koolaid prepared accordingb to package directions? - Duane
