Dealing With Badly Tarnished Brass Door Handles

Brass door handles are among the brass goods that are usually tarnished or rusted because of long-term exposure to rust, saltwater and moisture. The polishing of brass has to be frequently done to avoid the tarnishing. The polishing of brass can be done using a soft polishing cloth and a very soft brush. The cleaning of brass door handles in Sydney can be done using an acid or a lacquer cleaner. These cleaners do not have any effect on the polish and hence protects it from being damaged permanently. However, if you use the acid cleaners, you should ensure that the polishing cloth is not bleached and the lacquer cleaner you use is not lemon juice-based.

Corrosion is also caused by over-polishing and misuse of cleaning agents. The breakdown of these metals can also be caused by the friction caused by the door’s moving parts. In most cases, these metals are not corroded permanently until the polishing is done after a considerable amount of time has passed since the original date of its usage.

Cleaning the tarnished brass handles using a soft polishing cloth will remove the bad smell but will not remove the dirt attached to it. You should make sure that the dirt that has been attached to the door is obliterated before you apply the polishing cloth to it. Once the dirt has been removed, you should use the cleaning agent you have used earlier to clean the door and the surrounding areas. The cloth you have used for cleaning the door will also need to be soaked with lacquer thinner to remove the tarnish’s final traces. If the brass door handles have already been tarnished beyond repair, you should consult the users manual to find out the cleaning recipe that you should follow.

Another alternative for dealing with badly tarnished brass door handles in Sydney is to use dry ice or a blow torch to remove the lacquer. This is a good option as long as you do not accidentally blow the powder or the sealant compound into the metalcore. The soft cloth surface should also be protected so that the hot air is blown away from the melting ice does not burn the lacquered area.

Another option for removing lacquered brass door handles is to expose the parts to a high temperature. You can do this by wrapping the affected part in a soft polishing cloth, leave it exposed to the heat for about fifteen minutes and then clean it with lacquer thinner. The hot air emitted by the blow torch will melt the remaining substance, and the outer portion of the cloth will become white again. This process is known as dipping and cooling and can remove up to ninety per cent of the harmful substances from the surface.

There are specialized polishing cloths made especially for polishing metals as brass door handles. These cloths are specially made for use on brass, and they have a special coating that protects the metal. The special coatings make them more resistant to damage from the elements (including the cutting edges) and oxidize. You can either dip or cool the brass door handles before using the cloth to clean them. When dipped in the lacquer thinner, the cloth acts as an impregnator and expands to cover the tarnished area. Cooling the item afterwards makes the cloth hard enough to remove the tarnish once it has adhered to the metal.
