How to care for your brass door knocker Your brass door knocker will develop a mature and mellow patina over time. Many people love this traditional look, but if you feel the brass is getting dirty and covered in grime then you can clean your knocker with lukewarm soapy water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials as they can scratch the surface of the brass. For a more radiant sheen, use a good quality brass polish.
