This is great!!! I bought a small brass pot at a thrift store for 99 cents. It was very bad off. This stuff took the years/gunk/whatever it is off like magic! A little elbow grease was all that was required. Non toxic which is great and I always have the stuff to make it! Thanks so much for posting! I'm willing to look at more brass/copper items at thrift stores now , knowing I make them beautiful again!!!

    Thank you Audrey M! I had a brass jewellry box that was looking very sad. I liked your cleaner as it was easy to use and not as harsh on the skin. Now the jewellry box looks lovely & shiny.

    I just used this to clean my copper cannisters and a copper tea kettle. IT WORKS!!! Took less time than when I used some commercial stuff. LOTS cheaper too. And I didn't have to wear gloves.

    I love to putter in second hand stores and find used treasures to use in my kitchen which I love. I found a copper frying pan recently which was a little worse for wear butI thought would look great hanging in my kitchen for $2. Imagine my disappointment when I brought it home and found that I was out of copper cleaner. Recipezaar to the rescue! It turned out beautifully. Thank you! I write a food column for a community newspaper and have passed along your wonderful tip.
