Cleaning Brass
I have several boxes filled with brass oil lamps, barometers and clocks I want
to clean. I was using Noxon 7 or something to that effect. Slow going and then I remembered those TV ads for Tarn X. Does anyone know if that stuff really works? Thanks for any tips... RB |

Yes it does BUT is won't give you that hand rubbed deep shine. It ends
up looking a little "brassy". On 29 Apr 2004 11:45:42 GMT, (Bobsprit) wrote: I have several boxes filled with brass oil lamps, barometers and clocks I want to clean.

Cleaning Brass
Best thing for badly tarnished brass: Make up a solution of 1 tablespoon of
citric acid to a cup of water, with a drop or two of dishwashing detergent as a wetting agent. After removing any coating on the brass/bronze, dip it for an hour or two, or longer if it needs, then wash and polish. It'll come out of the solution looking "red" but that polishes off easily. Citric acid can be purchased at any pharmacy, and is also known as "sour salt" in the kosher section or a supermarket. If you need a lot, search for it on the web. -- Keith __ Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ...

1 part of table salt to 3 parts lemon juice just apply works almost
instantly with no hard scrubbing. Great for copper also. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... I have several boxes filled with brass oil lamps, barometers and clocks I want to clean.
