Copper Cleaning Tips to Bring Back the Shine

(hecke/123rf.com)

Copper is a malleable, reddish-gold colored metal popular for use in a variety of items, including mugs, pipes, sinks, pennies, pots, jewelry, and home decor. It is both versatile and attractive, but over time, this metal gets tarnished and turns green due to oxidation and chemical reactions to the environment. These processes turn beautiful items into less desirable pieces, and copper cleaning is necessary. We put together useful DIY information to restore your copper items to new ones, whether they are sinks, pots and pans, or coins.

Routine copper cleaning is necessary to ensure the metal keeps its lustrous color and shine, and using the right cleaner goes a long way to restoring your favorite copper pieces. Find out how to make a white vinegar and salt polish to clean away stubborn tarnish, employ lemon juice and cream of tartar to clean tough stains, use ketchup from your fridge as a pre-made cleaning paste, and cornstarch and lime to remove the blue-green patina. Discover tips for cleaning pipes using calcium, lime, and rust remover and how to use baby oil or mineral oil to protect your copper after cleaning.
