Ketchup as powerful Brass cleaner :)

Cleaning your LV padlocks (before and after pics)


Good day everyone!

My OCD strikes and so I have to do this!!!

I recently purchased a purse and a padlock and a couple of keys goes with it...

I do not intend to use the keys so I just kept it inside the cabinet

Last night I have decided to fix my things and saw the lock and keys... and I have noticed that it starts to oxidize :(

Since brass is as equally elegant as gold, I do want it to be as shiny as gold as well plus the fact that I hate seeing the tarnished lock ... and should I decide to use it in the future, I don't want it to stain the purse...

I looked for a brass cleaner in the house but to no avail, I do not want to purchase a brass cleaner solely for this lock and keys... so the solution... consult GOOGLE!

Voila--- the power tool would be something that is very common in the ref / kitchen ... ketchup!!!

Following the instructions...minutes after, it brought back its original shine yehey!!!

1. Squirt a spoonful of ketchup on a dry cleaning rag and work the ketchup in to the bras surface.     Leave behind a thin coat of ketchup and let it sit for a minute or so.

available at your kitchen

a teaspoon of ketchup


2.  Rinse the rag and wipe the brass to remove excess ketchup.

3.  Buff the brass with a clean dry rag, to achieve a clean, polished shine!

see the difference?

Equally effective yet the price is very reasonable :)

Hope you find this useful kikays :) xoxo
