So, never mind the facts, your pre concieved, ill informed opinions rule.

Have you actually tried any of these 'old wives tale' cleaning methods,
Dave? I suspect not.

I'll give one which does work. Dip tarnished brass in vinegar before
polishing with your favourite domestic brass cleaner. This dissolves the
hard oxidation and makes polishing *far* less work.

Other thing is supermarket cleaners don't give the ingredients. You might
well be using the common chemicals you seem to despise so much but hidden
behind fancy branding.

FWIW I now buy pretty well all such things in Lidl under a non advertised
brand. Which apart from being cheaper per bottle than the popular ones
also comes in larger quantities. I avoid anything called 'Mr Muscle' or
'Cillit Bang' like the plague. If I had my way they'd be prosecuted for
misleading advertising...
