Removing oxidation from brass components

Ways to remove oxidation from your brass components:

 

Lemon & Baking Soda Method

• Combine the juice of half a lemon and a teaspoon of baking soda and stir until it becomes a paste
• Apply paste with a soft cloth to brass components
• If heavily tarnished, let the piece sit with the paste on it for 30 minutes
• Rinse with warm water and pat dry
• Repeat if necessary.

 

Tomato Sauce Method

• Squeeze some tomato sauce (ketchup) into a dish.
• Carefully cover the brass area or only the required areas with a decent amount of tomato sauce.
• Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
• Use clean water or a soft damp towel to gently remove the tomato sauce from the brass component.
