Cleaning

Firstly, ensure the item you want to clean, is actually brass. If it isn’t brass, you could end up tarnishing it rather than cleaning. The easiest way to check is to see if a magnet sticks to it. If it’s real brass, the magnet will not stick. If it does stick – do some further investigating and don’t clean it until you’re sure of the metal. Don’t use anything too abrasive on your brass, if you choose to use wire wool, it will need to be a very fine grade. You could end up scratching the surface and causing damage. Try using cotton wool or a soft cleaning cloth to do the dirty work and use another soft cleaning or polishing cloth to get a bit of gleam on your item. visit kernowfurniture.co.uk/blogs/news/how-to-clean-antique-brass for more detail.
