Frugal Brass Polishing

[feng090]

I have the two big solid brass candlesticks from the church altar home with me for their annual cleaning. how to clean brass candlesticks I've never done it before. I've tried Brasso and it is hardly touching the tarnish on these! Any ideas on how to go about cleaning these? I don't think toothpaste is going to work. It's listed as a "mild cleaner". I'm needing something heavy duty I'm thinking. Any ideas?
