CLEANING VINTAGE COPPER

 


There is two ways that I clean my copper. Some just require more hard work than other.

The key is to use something that is acidic and/or abrasive, but not something that will scratch your surface.

 

1. BAKING SODA

This method requires more work. Baking soda is not acidic so it relies mostly on the texture to remove the tarnish. If it is the only thing you have on hand, it will work, but it would work even better with lemon juice added.

 

Method

Sprinkle baking soda onto a rag, use rag to rub tarnish off of copper, rinse baking soda off of pan dry and buff with clean towel

 

2. LEMON & SALT

 

Same method as above

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
