If the brass around your home looks tarnished and dull there’s no need to buy a pricey brass cleaner when you probably have all the ingredients to make your own and it all natural! Add 1 cup of water to a pot. Bring to a boil. Add a half of a sliced onion. Simmer for 2 hours. Let cool. Then dip a cloth into the solution to buff your brass fixtures and what-nots. The hot water releases the onion’s natural acids which will break down the tarnish. Your brass will gleam and it costs pennies!
