Brasso Metal Polish

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

At one time you hardly ever went into a house that was devoid of brass, if we didn't have a few horse-brasses hanging on our walls we had a couple of brass pots in our windowsill. How times change, now we have moved on and if you have any more than one vase in a room then it is considered to be cluttered. I am all for tidiness but I like to see a home well loved and well lived in - you can't beat it ! Many of us would instantly recognise that red white and blue tin, it is iconic and believe it or not Brasso has been on the market since 1905 ! No, even I wasn't polishing my bits at that time ! I think that we can safely say that Brasso is or maybe used to ...  Read the complete review

Brasso is a well known metal polish made by Reckit and Colman it has been around for years. It came about when a representative from this company visited Australia and found the liquid cleaner, he quickly realised that it was far better than the paste type that they were then manufacturing so he brought a sample back home with him and it eventually went onto the market in 1905. It contains polishing powder, ammonium jelly and white spirit so it is highly flammable and should be kept away from a naked flame and of course well out of reach of children. It comes in a tin with a bright red circle on displaying the words Brasso Metal Polish ...  Read the complete review

The word Brasso, has to be one of the most well known names in the business. The nickname for this stuff in the Royal Navy, was "Bluebell". The liquid metal polish is sold in metal tins, with a plastic screw cap, which was originally a metal one. Apparently during the War, when metal was in short supply, Brasso came in glass bottles. Brasso is a mild abrasive liquid, contained in a weak solvent, which forms a cutting compound, this wears away at most materials, including all metals, plastics, paints, and even glass! And is particularly good for cleaning glass because it contains ammonia. A 150ml tin costs just over £1.40, this ...  Read the complete review

On the 14 April 2009 I logged onto Dooyoo to discover I had been awarded with a gleamingly golden and gorgeous, three-pointed new crown for my 7th April write up on a leading mascara product - Yay! However, because of the Easter holidays the team didn't get chance to put my shiny prized possession next to the rewarded review until a whole week later; so sadly it has already started to tarnish a bit... Not one to let the dust settle on any single item for longer than a nano-second (the mischievous 'OCD' Gremlin and I have become quite well acquainted over the years!); but unfortunately having being off my feet for a couple of weeks now - I ...  Read the complete review
