Brass outdoor furniture adds elegance to any patio or garden, but over time, it can tarnish and lose its shine. Fortunately, cleaning brass is simple with the right techniques. Here’s the best way to restore its luster:

1. Gather Supplies: You’ll need mild dish soap, warm water, a soft cloth, white vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice (optional).

2. Initial Cleaning: Mix soap with warm water and gently scrub the brass with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

3. Remove Tarnish: For stubborn tarnish, create a paste with equal parts vinegar and baking soda. Apply it to the brass, let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub gently. Rinse and dry.

4. Polish for Shine: For extra shine, rub the brass with a cut lemon dipped in salt or use a commercial brass polish. Buff with a clean cloth.

5. Protect Your Brass: Apply a thin layer of car wax or mineral oil to prevent future tarnishing. Store furniture indoors during harsh weather if possible.

Regular maintenance keeps brass furniture looking stunning for years. Try these easy steps to enjoy a gleaming outdoor setup!
