I bought a (badly) spray painted brass elephant from the Goodwill 2 years ago. I set in my crockpot overnight and the paint just peeled off. Like magic! I did use a crockpot liner so we wouldn't get chemicals in our food. Might be worth a try...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-79885974151868752292014-12-30T06:33:15.175-05:002014-12-30T06:33:15.175-05:00Very beautiful post with amazing furniture pieces ...Very beautiful post with amazing furniture pieces and decorating ideas.

I remembered the details, but forgot the link. I tried it today to clean off some tarnished cabinet knobs. It was this clean-up trick, painting them or buying a whole bunch of new cabinet hardware. It worked... and if I still decide to paint them, I know that everything is clean of any hand oils and dirt as well as the tarnish.<br /><br />This took a while to trace, but the sources are "I Heart Organizing" link party for November that had "The Homes That I Have Made" post on stripping paint. The original inspiration came from the Rehab Addict of TV fame. Whew...but I believe in proper linking history!<br /><br />The sources suggest using a crock pot, but since we are dealing with paints and metals, I used an old pot, never to be used in cooking again. I heated water, placed the hardware in the pot to soak and kept the temp on low heat with the fan on, just in case. Since I was just cleaning the brass, I tested the items after about 2 hours. I used Bar Keepers Friend with a old rag and the brass just cleaned up so fast. The parts, that were tarnished so bad that I thought it was just brass plate, cleaned up. The parts, that were just dark, turned tacky so it must be just oils and dirt. But, it also cleaned up beautifully. Caution - there is water inside the knobs - I shook out the water and will let dry on a rack over a heater vent until I don't see any liquid coming out. I don't need a rusted mess if I just reinstalled the knobs on regular screws while still damp.<br /><br />Here is one of the links.... http://www.thehomesihavemade.com/2014/10/brass-hardware-removing-paint-and.html<br /><br />I wonder if the painted candle sticks will clean up as well as the brass hardware - it is worth to give candle stick a try for renewal.SpinningStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988891339643395864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-47405725381552710042014-12-27T13:04:08.910-05:002014-12-27T13:04:08.910-05:00What amazing ideas, love the countdown just wonder...What amazing ideas, love the countdown just wonderful.
