For Regular Maintenance: Wipe copper and brass with a cloth dipped in lemon juice once a month to prevent tarnish buildup.
Avoid Abrasives: Steel wool or harsh scrubbing pads can scratch and damage the metal.
Polish with Olive Oil (Optional): After cleaning, a light coating of olive oil can help preserve the shine.
Why This Works
Acid + Salt: Lemon juice or vinegar breaks down tarnish, while salt acts as a gentle abrasive to lift oxidation.
Baking Soda: Acts as a mild base to neutralize acids and remove stubborn discoloration naturally.
This simple, natural trick restores the original brilliance of your copper and brass—no harsh chemicals required!
