How to clean your copper and brass items:
A polish cloth will do a decent job or use BRASSO, but for a deep cleaning use lime juice or kechup.
1. Squeeze the juice/kechup on the piece.
2. Rub the juice/kechup really well with your fingers trying to get it inside all the details of the piece.
3. Let itwork for about 1 min.
4. Wash the piece with hand soap (not dish soap) and plenty of water.
5. Pat dry the piece with a clean towel.
6. Let it continue to air dry for about 2 hrs. Your piece will look like new!
The lime/kechup will not damage the stone. It works beautifully with copper and brass.
Will your skin turn green? It all depends on how strong your sweat is. Some people have strong acid in their sweat and that makes their skin turn green, even when they wear silver. Humidity also makes the metal tarnish bad. It will need to be cleaned often.
This summer has been extremely hot and humid, even if you usually don't have that problem, the humidity is the worst enemy for any metal and your skin may turn green. Try avoiding using copper and brass when you are outdoors in a very humid, hot day.
