Why Your Brass Has Tarnished and How to Fix It

Brass is a highly sought-after material for dog accessories due to its durability, sturdiness, and overall aesthetic appeal. However, it is important to note that brass can tarnish over time, especially if it is not properly cared for.

By taking proper care of your brass dog accessories, you can ensure that they will last for many years to come and continue to be a stylish and functional addition to your furry friend's wardrobe.

That’s why we recommend regularly cleaning and polishing the brass on your dog accessories to maintain their shine and beauty. Additionally, it is important to store your brass accessories in a dry and cool place to prevent any damage from moisture or humidity.

Why has my brass tarnished?

  • Brass tarnishes when it is exposed to air, especially in humid conditions.

  • The oils from your skin can also cause the brass to tarnish.

How to fix tarnished brass

  • To restore the shine to your brass accessories, use a brass cleaner and a soft cloth, rubbing gently until the tarnish is removed. Then, rinse with water and dry thoroughly.
