Tips For Cleaning Brass

RE: Tips For Cleaning Brass Post By marti (Guest Post) (06/27/2008) What keeps it from looking black the next day after you polish. I live in Maui on the South end towards the lava fields. Can condensation cause it to look dull and if so what to do to prevent it Report Spam or Abuse RE: Tips For Cleaning Brass Post By Marta (Guest Post) (01/18/2007) From Alton Brown - Good Eats: Good Wine Gone Bad Copper cookware is nice to use, but difficult to clean. No problem. Just dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a cup of white vinegar and stir in enough all-purpose flour to create a thick paste. Rub this on the bottom of the vessel, wait fifteen minutes, rinse, dry, and behold. New pot luster!

Rub it all over and let it sit for a bit and rinse off. Does a beautiful job.
