Many household items, ranging from cookware to statues, are made of copper and they require regular cleaning and maintenance to be kept looking new. It is important to polish your copper items on a regular basis, as copper tends to become dull over time. While you can use commercial cleaners to preserve the presentable appearance of your copper, there is a simple way to make your own cleaner at home for much less cost. With a couple natural houshold products, you can easily make an effective and eco-friendly copper cleaner.
Instructions
- Mix 2 parts of table salt with 1 part of white vinegar in a plastic bowl. For example, if you add 2 tablespoons of salt to the bowl, you need to add 1 tablespoon of vinegar. The salt will remove small debris and the vinegar will restore the shine of the copper according to cleaners Barnes.
- Use a spoon to stir the vinegar and the salt until a pasty consistence forms. Do not make the paste too thick, if that happens, just add a few drops of vinegar at a time until it reaches a consistency of a thin paste.
- Wrap a clean cloth around your forefinger and middle finger, and scoop some of the paste. While the cloth is still wrapped around your fingers, start scrubbing the paste into the copper. Scrub until the copper becomes clean and shiny.
