Things You Will Need
The slight acidic quality of the ketchup cleans the brass and gold wonderfully without causing any harm to the surface.
-
Squirt a spoonful of ketchup onto a dry cleaning rag. Work the ketchup into the gold or brass surface.
-
Leave behind a thin coat of the ketchup. Let it sit for a minute or so.
-
Rinse the cleaning rag and wring it out. Wipe the brass or gold to remove the excess ketchup. Continue until you have removed all the ketchup.
-
Buff the gold or brass dry with a clean, dry rag to achieve a clean, polished shine.
