For tarnished jewelries, here are a few options
- Chemical –based cleaner (Brasso): Apply Brasso (You can find them in hardware store) to a soft clean cloth and buff into the surface of the brass. Be sure to work in the direction of the metal’s natural grain as much as possible, instead of rubbing in circles. Use a new clean cloth to remove the remaining cleaner and buff to a shine.
- Flour/Vinegar Paste: Mix one teaspoon of salt into a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Add flour until the liquid becomes a paste and spread over the brass. Let the mixture sit for up an hour then rinse and buff the piece.
