    A friend of mine has a heavily tarnished brass fireplace fender. Brasso does not seem to have worked (don't know how much effort was put into it).

    Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

    "Barkeepers Friend" does a good job on heavily tarnished copper and brass, failing that try Autosol (available from motor factors). Either way a certain amount of elbow grease is required.

    Vinegar.


    Us fishkeeping folk use it to get rid of scale and salt build up on fishtank equipement.


    Milton fluid is also a very handy trick to do aswell.
