I'm glad it was helpful!

Would you recommend doing the vinegar wash before the Brasso since you said it’d be a good last step?

I definitely recommend doing the vinegar wash and then Brasso after to shine it up even more!

@@thesimplehomeplace awesome, thank you!! 😊

So when it’s clean it will tarnish more evenly/nicely?

That's the hope, although it depends on what elements the brass is exposed to that will determine how and where it tarnishes.

Magic Eraser soaked in vinegar with medium grit rubbing compound made for polishing car paint (step 1) + Microfiber w/ cut stage car paint polish (stage 2) + paper towel w/ car wheel polish & a clean microfiber to wipe it off (stage 3). That's my trick to new from factory brass, no matter how bad the tarnish is.

Great tips. Thanks for sharing!

Pure lemon juice works much better... just cut your lemon in half and rub the cut side over the brass... It does work miracles instantly. Lemon also works better than Brasso... I use lemon juice for my very large extensive brass collection of table tops, huge trays and dishes. I don't agree that you cleaned your brass... I like mine to be without any blemish at all.

Skip brasso. Waste of money. Vinegar or real lemon scrub with salt works best. The acid eats away the tarnish faster and better then Brasso. Old navy vets use to use unsweetened packets of Kool Aid to clean brass on the ships lol.

Just remember that cleaning any antique metal can significantly reduce its value.

Great to know! I plan on keeping this but will keep that in mind for the future.

It is too lengthy procedure . Use lele brand BRASS and Copper Cleaner instead of this .

I would throw that bowl away if I could not get it cleaner than that.

Well that's your opinion, but I don't know, it was a pretty significant difference and I saved a vintage brass bowl from going into the landfill so .... I'd call that a win!
