  • The easiest way to clean brass at home—with stuff you probably already have—is this simple method using vinegar, salt, and flour:

    DIY Brass Cleaner (No Harsh Chemicals)

    You’ll need:

    • 1 tablespoon salt

    • ½ cup white vinegar

    • Enough flour to make a paste (about ½ cup)

    • Soft cloth or sponge

    • Warm water

    Steps:

    1. Mix vinegar and salt in a bowl.

    2. Add flour gradually to make a thick paste.

    3. Rub the paste onto the brass item and let it sit for 10–15 minutes.

    4. Gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge.

    5. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly with a soft towel to prevent spotting.

    For Quick Touch-Ups:

    Rub a cut lemon dipped in salt directly on the brass. It works fast and is especially good for small areas or light tarnish. Rinse and dry well.
