Ash seems like a dirty mess, but it can shine tarnished metal. Here’s what to do…
If you have a wood-burning fireplace (or know someone who has one), collect some wood ashes in a glass jar. Add two tablespoons of baking soda for each cup of ashes, then shake the jar until the ashes and baking soda are fully integrated.
When you are ready to clean a tarnished metallic object, take a scoop of the mixture and add enough water to form a mildly abrasive paste. Use a damp cloth to gently rub the paste on the metal. Use a soft cloth to wipe off the paste, then rinse. Damp metal tarnishes quickly, so immediately after rinsing, dry your metal object thoroughly.
