I just purchased an antique brass bed, it's absolutely beautiful, that is badly tarnished. I'm looking for the EASIEST way to polish it to it's original beauty.....Any Suggestions?

If it can be easily taken apart I'd suggest soaking it in a solution of liquid polishing solution. If it can't then place the frame work on a tarp and take your time with some cream polish, a few soft terry cloth rags, and a car bufffing kit. If you put enough time into it you'll have it gleaming and ready to be squeaking in no time. The new shine will really bring out the color of the silk scarves.

The easiest way is to think of it as patina rather than tarnish...all the DIY shows say not to polish stuff up anymore, that the tarnish is proof of antiquity...we have an old metal bed frame that was gold painted, we just cleaned it up & left it as is...

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

I'm a weirdo and actually enjoy polising things with Brasso.

Unfortunatley no easy way to go about it....polish with Brasso....take your time and make it gleam...then spray lightly with hairspray...the hairspray will keep it looking shiny for longer

Be careful of some dunk-and-come-out-gleaming cleaners...they can do the metal more damage than good in the long run
