If your brass knobs aren’t shining like they used to, and you’re not sure how to clean them, we’ve got a simple solution. All it takes is some salt, flour, and vinegar to make them sparkle again! Here’s how!

Step 1:

Remove the handles from the door using a screwdriver to remove the screws.

Step 2:

Add 1 tsp of salt to 1/2 cup white vinegar in a bowl and stir until dissolved.

Step 3:

Add in flour, 1 tbsp at a time, until the mixture thickens. The mixture should be thick enough so that it can coat the back of a spoon without dripping.

Step 4:

Place your knobs into the bowl and allow them to sit (completely covered in the solution) for at least 10 minutes.

Step 5:

Rinse the knobs in warm water and buff them using a lint-free cloth.

Step 6:

Screw the knobs back onto the doors and admire their new shine!
