Door Furniture A History Of Brass Polishes

• In 1905, Reckitt and Sons senior travelling
  salesman visited the companys Australian branch
  and found a liquid brass polish being sold. This
  was brought back to the UK and after
  reformulation by Reckitts chemists was launched
  as Brasso.

• It was a great success, replacing the previous
  abrasive paste cleaners, and was extensively used
  in hospitals, hotels and department stores for
  polishing door furniture, door knobs, door
  handles, finger plates, letter plates and
  nameplates.

• In over a 100 years the product has been little
  changed, and the packaging has become a design
  classic. It is the ubiquitous brass polish in the
  Uk and has become one of those few products (like
  everyone calling the vacuum cleaner hoovering)
  where the brand has become the process.

• Of course there are other excellent products on
  the market, like those from Liberon, Kleenoff,
  Briliant and one of our favourites Harringtons.
  You can also make your own polish.

• Unlacquered brass will tarnish naturally if left
  alone. All of these products are easy to use and
  revive the lustre on brass door furniture and
  window furniture.

• They should not be used on modern lacquered
  brassware (which we do not sell) or any plated
  items such as nickel door furniture or chrome
  items. Ideal for restoring and maintaining your
  brass door handles, door knobs, door knockers,
  letter plates, finger plates, cupboard knobs,
  bell pulls and pushes, window fasteners and
  window stays.
