Hi Linda, I found this online: Make a paste If tomato products do not work, try making a paste of salt, flour and vinegar in equal portions. Apply it to the candlesticks, and let it sit for an hour. Repeat Step 2. Use a commercial cleaner If household items do not clean the brass candlesticks adequately, consider using a metal polish or cleaner.

FTI:

TO KEEP THE VALUE OF ANY BRASS, IT SHOULD NOT BE CLEANED.

Purchase Brasso and follow the directions.

Salt and vinegar works well as does using Ketchup.

Lemon juice and salt
