Vintage claw foot bathtub - brass fixtures & chipping paint on feet
My main concern, however, is the polished (but tarnished) brass fixtures. I LOVE brass, but I have tried everything from Brasso to ketchup to lemon and every other DIY idea out there for cleaning up the tarnish - to no avail. Do any of you have other ideas to either polish or possibly somehow paint the brass?
Also, the bathtub feet present another problem. The paint on them is completely chipped. I used that deadly, smelly paint stripper but it didn't fully work... Any other tips?
