As for&nbsp;<strong>brass<\/strong>, on the other hand, dirt produces a black patina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid stains, it is possible to adopt simple natural precautions, which allow us to have copper and brass pots and objects so shiny that they look as good as new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For light and recent stains, it is sufficient&nbsp;<strong>to use warm water and soap<\/strong>. Mix the water with the soap and use a sponge to clean the surface. Then dry well with a cotton or microfiber cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;also helps to effectively eliminate stains. Pour a few drops into the water and apply it to the metals. Remember to dry thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most effective methods of&nbsp;<strong>cleaning copper and brass<\/strong>&nbsp;is by mixing lemon and salt. Lemon acid is an effective remedy against shallow spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To&nbsp;<strong>clean the copper well<\/strong>, cut a lemon in half and rub it over the entire surface. After that, wipe well with a dry cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To&nbsp;<strong>clean brass,<\/strong>&nbsp;you can use a solution of water, vinegar, flour, and salt. Apply it with a toothbrush and rub well on the surface. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse with water and dry well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share article<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important: This website does not give medical advice, nor does it suggest the use of techniques as a form of treatment for physical problems, for which medical advice is required.
