Tami Wilson on Aug 10, 2013My hubby was a commercial plumber for years and he has told me time and again that I should use hot sauce (Tabasco) and steel wool to break down the oxidation and restore brass to its original shine. I personally thought he was nuts until the day I tried everything to clean up a light fixture. Finally relented, put hot sauce on it, waited awhile then scrubbed with steel wool and shortly had a shiny brass fixture. I just hate it when he is right!Helpful Reply
