How to polish an old brass bed frame
-
Abbie on Jan 26, 2014Is it brass or brass plated? If a magnet sticks to it, it's plated and not solid brass. If it's lacquered you really just need to wash with a mild cleaner like dish soap and water then polish with a dry soft cloth. And you would use the same method to clean plated brass Otherwise there are many cleaners out there like Brasso to clean tarnished brass, but you can't use these cleaners on lacquered or plated brass. You can also use ketchup or lemon juice as a more natural cleaner without any harsh chemicals. The acids in the tomatoes will take the tarnish right off there and lemon juice helps make it shiny again.. Although I don't think that's very practical for a whole bed frame. When it's all tarnish and dirt free and beautiful again, just buff with a soft cloth.Helpful Reply
