Help!!
I just purchased a sweet, old 1899 home in Denver. The fireplace has, what appears to be, an old brass insert that was goldish in appearance, but very dingy or covered in layer of soot. I asked home depot for cleaner and they recommended Brasso. I started using it last night and now parts of the metal are turning copper and other parts aren't! I don't know how to fix this! Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thank you!!
