help for cleaning cabinet hardware

[Kjs]

We are in the process of repainting our bathroom. Unfortunately our cabinets are painted. I took off the hardware and although I really like the hardware it is a bit corroded or green I believe from the moisture of the bath/shower.

I scrubbed one with SOS, and turned out pretty good. Any other idea's?

If you have any Tarnex in the house, that really does a great job!

Could try soaking in vinegar if I remember correctly that is supposed to work.

Line the bottom of your sink with aluminum foil. Sprinkle on baking soda. Add vinegar. Soak and then polish.

I remember too that my mom would use toothpaste (not the gel kind) and a toothbrush. I've also heard the vinegar and baking soda hint too.

If it's brass, try lemon and salt. Cut a lemon in quarters, rub the brass with the lemon. Then gently apply salt and rub salt and lemon off. The brass will glow.

If there's corosion, you may want to take a wire brush and gently brush off what you can. Then, you can get Rustoleum and spray them. You may be able to find the same color or similar color. The Rustoleum should stop further corrosion and prevent the moisture from creating more on top of it.
