The manufacturer, Reckitt Benckiser, has not produced the impregnated wadding version of the product for many years. In the US, the current Brasso product is not the same as the legacy product. Cans are often collected as a typical example of classic British advertising design. It has undergone very few changes in either composition or package design over the past century. The polish grew in popularity in Britain, becoming widely available, eventually replacing the previous paste-style polishes. Samples from Australian and US producers were then analysed by Reckitt's chemists, and by 1920 liquid polish under the trademark "Brasso" was being sold, initially to railways, hospitals, hotels, and large shops. Slack, visited the company's Australian branch, where he discovered such a product in use. In the early 20th century, Reckitt & Sons' senior traveller, W. After a hearing lasting two days the commissioners decided in favour of the railway companies, and Brasso remained classed as a dangerous substance for the purposes of railway transport. As a result of this in 1913 the case was taken to the Railway and Canal Commissioners for a decision. Reckitt's appealed to the companies asking for the polish to be recategorized in the hope of reducing costs, but the railways disagreed. This classification allowed the railway companies to charge more for distributing Brasso around the country. Because of the hydrocarbon components in the mixture it had a flash point of 72 ☏ ( Abel Close test) and so was classed by railway companies as dangerous goods. Remove spots from sinks and counters with a stainless-steel cleaner polish with the grain, when needed.Brasso originated in Britain in about 1905. Stainless steel is vulnerable to water spots, so it always should be dried immediately. Store pieces in tarnish-resistant silversmith's cloth pouches or in drawers lined with such cloth. Silver should be used and washed regularly, and polished only when truly needed with the gentlest effective product.
Always use a mild, nonabrasive polish to remove any unwanted tarnish without scratching. Pewter is not meant to be shiny washing and dusting are usually sufficient.
If nickel plating chips, it should be recoated to prevent corrosion. Nickel fixtures rarely show tarnish usually only washing and buffing are required. Treat gilt and plating gently, dusting with a soft brush. Gold won't tarnish, though it can be damaged by impurities in tap water, so always dry it thoroughly. A natural polish of lemon juice or white vinegar, along with some coarse salt, will make copper gleam. Copper pots can be shined brightly, although some cooks like to leave the tarnish, claiming that it helps conduct heat.
Copper develops a green patina, which is often desirable when used outdoors.
