Copper and Brass have made come back as the interior accent in the design world. Warm metals like copper and brass will continue to be on trend for a while. Though these metals have always been an integral part of traditional Indian decor and I have already showcased so many beautiful homes where you must have seen brass and copper embracing every corner of the home. And I know how crazy you all are about these shiny metals.
In above video, I have used two different cleaners to clean and polish brass & copper, natural and commercial cleaners. First, let's understand the science behind it. Basically, we need an abrasive to clean and polish the hard surface of the metal and an acid to remove the patina/tarnish or grime. So you can use combination of salt(abrasive) + lemon(citric acid) or salt(abrasive) + vinegar(acetic acid).
Other ingredients that can be used for cleaning brass and copper are:
-Tamarind paste and salt
-Yoghurt
-Butter milk
-Pickle or
-Ketchup
Natural Cleaner:
Salt + Lemon Juice
- Mix both the ingredients well
- Apply on the metal surface
- Leave for 1 min
- Rub either with soft cloth or scrub pad
- Wash properly and don't forget to wipe it off with a soft cloth.
Commercial Cleaner:
Pitambari Powder
- Make a paste of Pitambari powder using few drops of water
- Apply the paste on the metal surface
- Leave it for 1 min
- Rub either with soft cloth or scrub pad
- Wash properly and don't forget to wipe it off with a soft cloth.
