Brass Bathroom Accessories

Brass bathroom accessories conjures up pictures of old castles where all polished plumbing parts were made of brass.

Brass - which is an alloy of copper and zinc - is often used for decoration and different hardware due to its bright gold-like appearance and resistance to corrosion. The copper in brass makes brass germicidal via the oligodynamic effect. For example, brass doorknobs disinfect themselves of many bacteria within eight hours.
