Hello everyone!
I hit the jackpot the other day at the thrift store. I was there at the right time. I scored 6 brass candle sticks for $1.00 each. How about that? 🙂
Now to clean them up. I looked up home remedies for cleaning brass. Tomatoes! I thought really? Can this really work? I grabbed a can of tomato sauce and added some water.
I let the candle sticks soak for about 15 mins or so. The larger ones I decided to pour the tomato juice in a pitcher so the candle stick would be completely in the tomato sauce mixture.
Took the candle stick out of the juice, rinsed them off and wiped them with a paper towel.
The below photo is not touched up or edited. It is exactly how it turned out! Unbelievable! Take a look at the before and after.
Some took a little more soaking, but they all turned out shining.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope I inspired you in going into a thrift store, even if you normally don’t like to. You need to just stop in and check it out. You might be surprised at what you find.
