Ketchup Trick

I needed to clean a couple of antique solid brass lamps and I couldn't find any cleaners at the four stores I looked at.  Finally in my frustration I decided to search the web for how to clean them.  I was surprised when the search resulted in an unexpected kitchen item,  Ketchup! 

I grabbed a cheap $0.87 bottle of ketchup; I didn't want to waste the good stuff on something that I didn't know if it would really work.  But I was excited to try this trick.

As soon as the ketchup touched the brass, you could see it working. I felt like jumping up and down, I was so happy it was working. 

It was so easy! Wipe it on. Wipe it off and rinse with water and dry.  No need to scrub or buff. 

I love learning new things and this tip is one I will definitely use again!

My new cookbook is available at schools, businesses, hospitals, and book fairs in cities across the United States.  Be sure to pick up a copy or two, when you see them.  They make great gifts!
