Let Your Copper Bracelets Shine Like New

Bracelets are usually made of brass in costume jewelry section. Manufacturers often coat brass and bronze with lacquer to protect it from corrosion and oxidation. With time the lacquer wears out and the metal starts to tarnish. If you can see spots of corrosion on your bracelet, it indicates that the protective coating has already worn out. Here are some things to make them look like new:

1. Dishwashing liquid is strong enough to remove such stains from bracelets. Wash it nicely after applying soap to avoid accumulation of soap on metal surface.

2. A simple homemade mixture of vinegar, flour and salt in equal quantities can act as a strong acid based paste. After applying, clean it with water and leave to dry in air.

3. If the tarnish has just begun you can use a milder mix of baking soda and boiling water. Put the bracelet in mixture for 10 minutes. Remove it afterwards and wipe it clean with soft cotton cloth.

4. Several cleansers are available in the market to clean copper based alloys. You can use them but under moderation as they might be too strong for bracelets.
