Why is brass not used more if it self sanitises ?

474 views

I’m getting my kitchen redone & want to know why copper alloys like brass isn’t used more. It seems perfect for counter space and prep areas with its self sanitation properties.
Am I missing something bc I’m stupid or maybe just ahead of the curb ?

You have good answers already, but another factor is that brass smells funny!

Some people, myself strongly included, can smell metals in very very tiny amounts, or at least the volatile compounds from skin which react with the brass. If I pull a brass door handle, my hand smells hideous. Some cutlery (EPNS for instance) makes food almost inedible.
