One of the things I did was google ' update brass door handle '. I found article after article about how to spray paint them using metal spray paint. One thing I did was take the time to read the comments and many people commented about how they held up. Most said 'Not good'. Some people got a year or so of them looking decent but many said they started to go after a couple of months. It is my opinion, that doing something like @MichaelAffronte said would work better.

You can start by getting a good brass cleaner, and maybe a book from the library, on antiques, it might tell you how to preserve it once you clean it. Good Luck!
Hi there, my Mom always used ketchup (tomato sauce) to clean her brass ornaments. Squirt some on a clean cloth and rub all over and then wipe off with a clean cloth and buff. You can seal the handles too with a heavy-duty clear sealer.
