Marion Nesbitt on Aug 24, 2015Once cleaned, I would spray it. Life is too short - antique or not. My home is 100+ yrs old - brass door hinges, light fixtures, etc. Polished them up and sprayed with Clear Coat (auto finish). No more cleaning up tarnish for me.Helpful Reply

Charolett Wills on Aug 24, 2015I have used Braso ( not sure on the spelling) but it works great. Then I do as Marion Nesbitt said, I put a clear coat on it to keep it shinny and pretty.Helpful Reply

Dobi on Aug 25, 2015believe it or not, regular toothpaste not the gel kind does a fantastic job of cleaning either silver or brass. It does better with silver! good luck!Helpful Reply
