    • 1). Place the antique brass item on a flat surface covered with one or two thick towels.

    • 2). Measure and pour one cup of hot water into a small dish. Pour one to two drops of mild liquid soap into the bowl and stir with a spoon to create bubbles. Fill another small dish with one cup of plain hot water.

    • 3). Put on a pair of rubber gloves and saturate one of the soft cloths with the soapy water. Squeeze lightly to remove excess water. Wash the brass item thoroughly with the soapy cloth to remove surface dirt and grime. If the cloth becomes extremely soiled, rinse it out under running water before dipping it back into the soapy water to prevent contamination.

    • 4). Dip a different soft cloth in the plain hot water, squeeze lightly to remove excess water and wipe the brass to rinse. Pat dry with a dry, soft cloth.

    • 5). Pour a dime-sized amount of boiled linseed oil onto a dry, soft cloth and gently rub the oil into the brass item. Add more oil to the cloth if needed to cover the entire surface.

    • 6). Polish the brass with another soft cloth to remove excess linseed oil.
