livingentity 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2003 This is a safe and non-toxic way to clean brass paraphernalia: Wet the brass item with lemon juice and then sprinkle salt on the item. I use the lemon wedge then to scrub the item and also use my fingers to get into the small spaces. This works really well - try it! I tried it on silver with equal results. Please note: do not use this method on brass deities - much too rough. Use gopi-candana or almond paste for deities but avoid getting it on any painted areas.
