Cleaning Copper ...by Using Cloth Wipers
Cleaning Copper
Most pieces of decorative, modern copper are protected by a factory-applied, baked-on lacquer. Only dusting with wiping rags and an occasional washing with lukewarm, soapy water are needed to keep lacquered objects shiny. Never polish them.
Lacquer must be removed from eating and cooking utensils before using. To remove lacquer, place the item in 2 gallons of boiling water to which 1 cup of washing soda has been added. The lacquer will peel off.
An alternate method to remove lacquer is to rub with a cotton rag saturated with acetone or alcohol.
