Before you go ahead with your DIY brass polishing project, it is pertinent to check that you are working with brass.
Get hold of a magnet and check whether it sticks to the object or not? If the magnet sticks, your accessory or furniture piece has brass in it.
Lemon & baking soda are powerful natural cleaners on their own.
Mix these two into a paste to yield a magical cleaning agent that helps remove any build-up on any metal surface.
Take half a lemon and a teaspoon of baking soda in a small bowl.
Change the quantity of these ingredients to suit your needs or the size of your project. First, squeeze the lemon into the bowl, and then gradually add baking soda over the liquid so that it starts to fizz.
Once the fizz has settled down, start stirring the mix until you have a paste.
Work the brass polishing paste you have formed into the brass.
For best results, we recommend that you rub the paste using a soft cloth gently over the brass in one direction only.
You can even use your fingers to apply this paste equally over the surface!
Use a soft, damp cloth to rinse the paste thoroughly from the surface.
Then use a clean towel to dry the surface.
