thanks for sharing

Thank you SO SO much for posting this!

I was really nervous about getting the Eva in Damier because of the huge plate, but figured that Brasso might work in the future. I searched high and low for "before" and "after" pics, but couldn't find any.

Now I know that it'll work and the hardware will look great again!

Thanks!!!

Has anyone else used vinegar and salt on the lock and keys? I tried this home remedy method for brass tarnish and it took horribly dark tarnish off the entire lock within a minute of soaking! The lock looks like new now!
