Lemon And Salt - A Copper Brass Super Cleaner

Salt And Lemon Can Be A Brass And Copper Cleaner

Did you know that salt and lemon can be used as a copper brass super cleaner?

It is quite simple to clean brass and copper objects in your home naturally, and without having to purchase commercial products, using the recipe below.

All you need is some fresh lemons and salt.

You cut the lemons into wedges and dip a wedge into the salt and then gently rub the salty lemon against the copper or brass you want to clean.

You will instantaneously see the results as the lemon juice runs down the metal surface and brightens it.

After you have thoroughly cleaned all your copper and brass you need to either wipe the items with a soft wet cloth, or if possible to rinse them quickly in cold water.

You need to make sure you get rid of all the salt so you do not leave the item open to corrosion.

Further, after thoroughly removing the salt and lemon juice from the surface of the metal you need to dry the copper or brass thoroughly so that it does not re-tarnish.

A final hint: you can also prevent re-tarnishing of the copper or brass by rubbing a little bit of lemon oil on the copper or brass's surface after cleaning.
