Ways To Give Aged Bronze Door Hardware A Fresh Appearance?

To age oil-rubbed bronze hinges, mix one part detergent/soap with ten parts water and apply the mixture directly onto the bronze knob or handle using an old toothbrush or soft cloth. Rinse the bronze object thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.

For a shiny finish, use Universal All-Surface Spray Paint by Rostoleum in the oil-rubbed bronze finish. This has a built-in primer and sticks extremely well to things, especially metal. If you want new hardware to look old, it might be worth the wait. For a quick and easy door update without removing them from door frames, use Rub n Buff to change hinge colors.

To clean a bronze knob or handle without damaging it, use proven remedies such as vinegar, ketchup, or a potato. Clean fixtures and hardware with water and a soft cloth. If your fixture has hard water spotting or needs more thorough cleaning, diluted vinegar may be used. If it is metal, try 0000 steel wool and baby oil for a shiny brassy finish.

If the doorknob looks like it, you can sand it and wipe it off then get some brass or metallic spray paint for them. They have it at all paint stores and even Walmart. Use a clean, dry, cotton cloth to gently rub the dried wax from the bronze surface until you achieve the desired sheen.

In summary, using an aging solution to age hardware can be a cost-effective and time-saving method. By using natural methods like chemical stripping, denatured alcohol, and brass polish, you can create a polished, shiny look for your doorknobs.
