Lemon juice and salt are useful for removing tarnish from copper in three easy steps:. Squeeze the juice of the lemon in a bowl and then sprinkle the salt into the juice. Reichert does a ratio, with three times as much lemon to salt. Stir for a minute until the salt dissolves.
Dip a cloth into the solution and wipe the copper. Comments 32 Add Comment. Martha Stewart Member. July 28, I used the "quick" method -- 3 cups of water, 1 cup of vinegar and a tablespoon of salt to polish a large hammered copper tray. I poured some of the solution on the tray and wiped it with a rag.
The results were kind of amazing. The tarnish wiped off almost instantly but then the tray immediately began to tarnish again before my eyes. I couldn't wipe it fast enough to prevent it tarnishing. However, the new tarnish removed very easily with Brasso, which would have taken hours of hard labor had I not used the vinegar method first.

February 23, The discussion about chemicals needs clarification as both sides are technically correct. We are surrounded by chemicals as one might consider any element or combination of elements a chemical. The difference is that many cleaning products contain synthetic chemicals derived from petroleum, aka petrochemicals. These did not appear until World War II when they were developed in laboratories but now they're ubiquitous.
I try to avoid using them. Salt NaCl or sodium chloride is a natural substance as is vinegar NH3. They are not human-made synthetic petrochemicals but most available silver or copper or brass polishes DO contain synthetic petrochemicals as do many products used daily by people around the world.
Those ingredients you don't recognize in your shampoo or lotion or dish soap are most likely synthetic petrochemicals. And what do you think plastic is made from? If you say petrochemicals, you're correct. Do your research. It's easy enough using Google.

November 18, So that gets rid of the tarnish but makes the copper very dull! So where does the 'gleam' come from? June 25, March 26, I recently had friends staying at my house while I was away.
They used just about every copper pan in the kitchen but did not clean any after use. I wish I had left them a note with these copper cleaning tips. August 26, Thanks a lot website. Are you sure you want to remove this item from your Recipe Box?
