Making Brass Handles Shiny
Remove your brass handles from your kitchen cabinets and put them in a small saucepan of ketchup- just enough to cover the handles will do. Bring the temperature to a boil and immediately turn down the heat. When the handles are nice and shiny, take them out and give them a gool polishing!
The acids in ketchup work wonders when it comest to removing tarnish and buildup from metals such as brass and copper!

I used to live in an old apt. I used to "shine-up" old doorknobs (antique brass) with only fine steel wool,and cold water.this seems to work with the types of brass,used nowdays (it takes a little "elbow grease",cheap,but very effective,too.
