Have you ever wondered, “Does brass tarnish?” If so, you probably haven’t owned anything that’s brass!

Fortunately, when that happens, there is a solution.
Here’s how to clean brass: Place 3/4 cup of lemon juice in a bowl, add 1/2 cup of baking soda, mix well and submerge the brass pieces.

And that’s it!
