Which one of you suggested vinegar and rock salt for polishing the brass bells on my Woodstock fountain? I was cleaning my fountain this morning and decided to give it a try.

Can you tell which three bells have been scrubbed, and which three haven’t? The interesting thing is it wasn’t just the vinegar, and it wasn’t just the salt, it was definitely both. If I stopped getting results, I’d add more of whichever had been used up, and it started cleaning again.

I’ve tried brass polish, I’ve tried steel wool and detergent, I might have tried bleach, I don’t remember. Nothing had the tiniest effect, and now, after using vinegar, rock salt, and steel wool, I have a pretty fountain again! (I wonder how it’d do on the bottom of my shower???).

I love you!!!
