Brass Bathroom Fixtures
I own a 100+ year old house, where I am now updating a bathroom.. I
have several, solid brass fixtures, that I have significantly improved the appearance via hard scrubbing with Brasso etc. I am curious if there is a preferred way, to maintain that current shiny appearance. Previously, they were REAL Drab (aka ugly). |
