Brass Handle
Posted in Garden Antiques on 08/07/2010 10:08 am by adminWhat is the green stuff that builds up on brass door handles?
This may seem like an odd question. I've tried searching the web to no avail. It's basically green stuff, plasticine-like, and builds up in the pattern indents in the parts that get touched the most. I've always wondered where it comes from.
Hi,
When brass oxidizes it turns green, are these solid or plated brass. Use a polish like noxon to clean them up.
