Cleaning Brass & Copper with Ketchup

 

An easy way to polish up your copper and brass jewelry is to use ketchup! Most of us have this tasty condiment in our kitchens, and now we have a handy standby for cleaning our tarnished jewelry, chains and metal wands.

Spread a layer of ketchup over your copper (take care not to spread on the stones or other metal parts) or brass with a cloth or brush (old toothbrushes work great). Leave for 3-5 minutes depending on how tarnished your piece is. Then, rinse under warm water and wipe clean with a dry cloth.
