Brass Jewelry
Cleaning brass jewelry with toothpaste is a simple and easy way to restore the shine and luster of your pieces. Here's how you can do it
- Start by applying a small amount of toothpaste to a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Gently rub the toothbrush over the surface of the brass jewelry, being sure to cover all areas.
- Pay particular attention to any areas that are particularly dirty or tarnished.
- Once you have scrubbed all areas of the jewelry, rinse it thoroughly with warm water.
- Use a soft, clean cloth to dry the jewelry.
- If there are any remaining tarnish or stains, you can repeat the process until you are satisfied with the results.
