How Do You Remove Tarnish From Copper?
Think your tanished copper can’t shine again? Here’s an inexpensive and nearly effortless way to quickly remove tarnish from copper. Step 1 Coat your copper completely with ketchup. Work the ketchup into the tarnish with your fingers or use a soft bristled brush (an old toothbrush works well) to get into corners or into the item’s design detail. For severely tarnished items, leave ketchup on for a few minutes. Step 2 Rinse your item thoroughly with warm running water. Rub gently to be sure to remove all of the ketchup. Step 3 Dry thoroughly with paper towels and admire the shine!
