Not sure about cleaning the brass handles but I have heard that beer works with slugs in the garden. also I watched a tv programme on gardening and they talked about this copper on a roll that has a sticky back and you stick it around the pots and on the edging around the beds and that the slugs and snails get a mild electric shock when they try to cross it but it does not kill them. I decided to find out more about it and bought it in the garden centre. Its called The Garden Helpers range-Copper Slug and Snail Tape. You get 4 metres and the cost is 9.99e. A bit pricy but if it works!!! great. The Brand is BOSMERE. Heres hoping!! Marhen
