Solid Brass

How do I polish dirty brass door fixtures?

Under layers of dirt/oxidation I discovered that the knocker, handle and letter slot on my front door were solid brass. I’ve used Twinkle and steel wool and they look amazingly better but the surface still has a copper hue to it. Any suggestions on how to get it to that shiny brass look – and keep it?
Thanks.

Other than power buffing Brasso as mentioned is fine but will reqiure some work. after a hot soap & water scrub.
The “copper ” color might be due to oxidation reacting w/ cleaning chemicals that have strong acid or base PH.
Could also be that some pieces are brass plated base metal & the copper underplating is showing where the brass plating has been worn off.
Easy enough to find out by scraping the back of the piece ,
If grey or silvery looking metal shows …it aint brass.
Once cleaned auto polishing compound is good for upkeep since the compound is wax based.
Marine supply stores have metal cleaners & protectants that hold up better than brass polish alone.
Best regards

Solid Brass Shelf Brackets – Durable Designs for Heavy Duty Shelving

Installing new shelves around the home is a great solution for storage or display needs. Shelves come in a variety of sizes and materials and more importantly so do shelf brackets. The brackets holding up a shelf are just as (if not more) important than the shelf itself. Depending on what items the shelf is going to carry, using high quality shelf brackets is important to ensure that your books, bric-a-brac, dishes, etc. don’t end up broken on the floor.

A shelf bracket is designed to support the shelf on the wall. Depending on the design, a shelf bracket can be installed directly into the wall (this would need a stud behind it) or with drywall anchors. The number of shelf brackets needed depends on the weight the shelves are meant to carry and the length of the shelf. For example a long shelf that will hold books could require anywhere from 3 to 6 brackets. A smaller shelf can usually use 2 to 3 brackets.

Solid brass shelf brackets are a great way to introduce new designs into any room (such as the living room, bathroom or kitchen) and make an otherwise boring shelving system into a beautiful focal point of your design. Solid brass offers a wide variety of patterns ranging from intricate scroll work to wonderful Eastlake designs. Brass (and iron) is the best choice for heavy duty shelving because they are designed to hold higher weights without bending over time. Thinner materials can break or bend under normal wear and tear and the finishes can also become easily scratched.

Solid brass shelf brackets are a great way to solve storage problems while adding extra detail to your home. Look for solid brass construction (not simply brass plated) to ensure strength and be sure to ask questions. Many shelf brackets are sold individually – not by the pair – this is so you can get the exact quantity needed without having too many or few. LookInTheAttic & Company offers a wonderful selection of shelf brackets in brass and iron and they offer free design assistance and help.
