Mistakes to Avoid when caring for your Brass

There are a few areas of concern that you should be aware of when it comes to polishing and cleaning brass:

• Avoid using highly abrasive scrubbing cloths, metal-bristled brushes, or steel wool as these could scratch or damage the surface of the brass.
• In some cases to prevent tarnishing or patina growth, apply a thin coating of linseed oil or mineral oil to clean brass with a soft terry towel.
• Check if your brass has a lacquered finish or not before you clean it! Many brass objects are protected with a lacquer finish and should only be cleaned with hot, soapy water. If pieces of this type are heavily tarnished, you will need to remove the lacquer with a paint or varnish remover, clean and polish the brass using one of the techniques above, then re-lacquer the piece.
• If you don’t want your brass to age or dull over time, You should avoid touching your brass items as much as possible; oils in your skin can hasten tarnishing.

Regular cleaning and polishing with a microfiber cloth will help keep dust and dirt from accumulating and keep your brass accents lovely and lustrous.
