Let it Sit: Allow the paste to sit for about 10-15 minutes.
Scrub and Rinse: Gently scrub the area with a soft cloth, rinse with water, and dry thoroughly.

3. Lemon and Salt Method

Prepare the Mixture: Cut a lemon in half and sprinkle salt on the exposed side.
Rub the Utensils: Use the lemon to scrub the brass, applying pressure where tarnish is most stubborn.
Rinse and Dry: Rinse with water, then dry with a soft cloth.
