Vinegar mixed with salt and elbow grease. Wear rubber gloves and remove brass from furniture. Soak for a while in a bucket full of vinegar and salt solution; it should be about half-and-half. Then, use a brush and rags to rub clean. Ketchup also works to clean brass, but it's much more expensive. Be careful to rinse thoroughly with water and dry before replacing. Dispose of vinegar/salt by diluting further with water and pouring down the drain. It will kill your garden.

I can make this happen even easier. Ketchup. Yep, just put it on and let it set, then rinse. Hope that helps. It works on copper, too.
