How to Clean Brass the Natural Way (No Harsh Chemicals!)

🛠 How to Do It:

1️⃣ In a small bowl, mix salt, vinegar, and flour (or baking soda) into a smooth paste.
2️⃣ Apply the paste to your brass using a soft cloth or sponge. Gently rub in circular motions.
3️⃣ Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to break down the tarnish.
4️⃣ Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry completely with a clean cloth.
5️⃣ Buff with a microfiber cloth for an extra gleam!

💡 Bonus Tip:

For intricate or engraved brass pieces, use an old toothbrush to work the paste into tiny crevices before rinsing.

🧪 Why It Works:

  • Vinegar (acid) reacts with salt to gently dissolve tarnish.
  • Flour or baking soda binds the paste and adds a mild abrasive quality—safe for the metal.

✨ Perfect For:

  • Antique brass candle holders
  • Drawer handles & knobs
  • Vintage trays & home décor
  • Restoring family heirlooms during spring cleaning
