WHAT IS BRASSO? An old favourite of mine, Brasso. I have used it for many years and remember my mum using it too, so goodness how long it has been around! More commonly known as "metal polish" it is well known as a household cleaning product. A yellow, thickish liquid, Brasso can be used to bring back the gleam to brass, copper, chrome and pewter. It is a bit smelly but not terribly unpleasant, but I would recommend you use it in a well ventilated room. It is also available as wadding, where you just rub the presoaked wadding onto the items and then polish it off. The liquid is available in tins, with a screw lid, ...  Read the complete review

Both my partner and I have inherited quite a few metal items from parents and grandparents such as candlesticks and I have a few silver photo frames and christening goods that I like to keep clean. A standard polish cleans the metal ok, but I have found that it really dulls down the shine and I was recommended to use Brasso cleaner to bring my silver back to its former glory. Brasso is available in a liquid metal polish as well as wadding which is like a fluffy material in a can which you rip off bit by bit and rub onto your metal directly as it already contains the brasso formula within the wadding. This is good as it is far less messy than the liquid ...  Read the complete review

I remember this from my childhood days but have never been a fan of brass. My mother-in-law was a brass collector and used to be regularly seen at the hearth surrounded by various items of brassware being cleaned. What I remember most is the smell and the fact that the whole process seemed to take ages. A couple of years ago, soon after the installation of a wood burner, we saw a lovely brass scuttle at auction and bought it for an absolute song. This purchase was closely followed by a brass kettle and iron with tripod; now, without either of us ever being that keen on brass, we have a small collection. This involuntary acquisition of ...  Read the complete review

Brasso was introduced to Britain in 1905, so has now been used in our homes for over 100 years. I always remember my mum keeping a tin of this under the kitchen sink and she would take it out on a regular basis, to clean the brass items that sat on and around the fireplace. I do not have very many brass items, but it does in fact clean not only brass, but copper, pewter and chrome also. We do keep a tin of this in our kitchen cupboard, to clean metal items. We have had the same tin for years now, but thankfully it never seems to 'go off'. Brasso comes in a metal tin, which is mainly decorated in a blue and white striped pattern. The Brasso name is ...  Read the complete review

STAND BY YOUR BEDS!!!!! ......WAIT FOR IT, WAITTTTTT FOR ITTTTT......... What "Happy" memories Brasso brings back for many people, BULL, BULL and more BULL. Thankfully there are many more uses for this good old favourite other than polishing Buttons, Buckles and Badges. Mind you I do enjoy the 3 Bs as well. Brasso has been doing the "rounds" for around a hundred years or so and still seems as good to me today as it did years ago - "Rose tinted specs" again??? No I don't think so. It still looks the same, smells the same, tastes the same - don't try that at home please... and it seems to work just the same. It's just a ...  Read the complete review
