Tips for cleaning

 

I tried the following steps and it worked good for me so please try it out on a small item and then use the technique if good

 

To clean copper or brass items 

1. Make a solution of vinegar, salt, lime and water and immerse the cleaned copper or brass items in that overnight.
2. Watch all the darkness vanish by morning and then we can wash the vessels with Pitambri powder or simple dish washing solution.
3. Finally wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Could keep it out in the Sun to dry if possible.
