Brass handles and doorknobs, along with copper handles, feature heavily in traditional homes, however, they’re also prone to tarnishing. Thankfully, this is pretty easy to rectify so long as you’re prepared to put the work in. We recommend the following solution:
What You Need:
1 tbsp of flour
1 tbsp of salt
1 tbsp of vinegar
Method:
Step 1 - Mix these ingredients together until it forms a paste
Step 2 - Rub the mixture onto the surface of your brass door handle or copper door handle.
Step 3 - Leave it to settle for around 2-3 minutes and then remove the paste with hot, soapy water.
Step 4 - Buff the handle or doorknob with a soft cloth that won’t scratch the metal and your door handles will look as good as new. Of course, if you’re the owner of antique brass and bronze handles, remember not to get too carried away with the buffing process!
