Preparation

Step 1

Using Lemon Juice and Salt, you can literally sit back and watch the copper clean itself in front of you. I’ve only used a small amount in the pictures below, so that I could show you a before & after on the same cuff. You can and should use enough lemon juice to cover the surface of the cuff, and about a tablespoon of salt. It’s not an exact science, I even left the seeds in!

Leave it in the mixture of lemon juice & salt for about 30-60 seconds…

All you have to do now is rinse & dry with a soft cotton towel or paper towels. Polish it with some beeswax or renaissance wax if you want to protect it for a little longer.
