Many people like the look of brass in their bathroom. The problem is that it tarnishes easily. To clean it, you can do any of the following:
Regular cleaning routine
Keeping your faucet clean isn’t hard, but it does take regular effort. Make sure you make the cleaning part of your daily or weekly chores to avoid tarnishing.
Normally, a damp cloth is all it takes to shine up your faucet. Abrasive cleaners can actually damage brass, but if the damp cloth alone doesn’t cut it, try a mix of warm, soapy water with the cloth. Also be sure you dry the brass completely once you’re finished cleaning; this will prevent water spots and further damage.
Keeping the brass faucet dry will also prevent spotting and buildup. It’s smart to keep a dry cloth next to the sink so that you can dry off the faucet after you’re done using it. Source: DoItYourself
Toothpaste isn’t only for the teeth
Toothpaste keeps your pearly whites, well, white. And you can use that same cleaning magic on brass. First, pick the perfect toothpaste. You don’t need any gels or fancy flavors, just a plain, white toothpaste will do. Then, apply a thin layer of the paste to your brass object. Let rest for a few minutes, then polish with a clean cloth. For tough spots, you’ll likely need to use a little force. Feel free to apply extra dabs of toothpaste to particularly stubborn areas. Once the brass is polished to your liking, rinse with cool water and dry with a microfiber cloth. Source: BHG
Use natural ingredients
- Combine the juice of half a lemon with a teaspoon of baking soda and stir until it becomes a paste.
- Apply the paste with a soft cloth.
- If the tarnish is heavy, let the piece sit with the paste on it for 30 minutes.
- Rinse and dry. Repeat if necessary. Source: ArchitecturalDigest
