Homemade Copper Cleaner Recipes

See recipes below for homemade copper cleaner using natural ingredients, to keep your copper clean for less.

Copper, like many metals can get tarnished with time and use.

While some antiquing of copper objects may be prized, such as for knick knacks on your shelves, a tarnished copper pot is not.

However, when it comes to cleaning copper you don't have to buy commercial products, and for cleaning any kind of copper cooking utensil I don't recommend it for sure.

The reason, of course, is that you don't want copper pots and pans, and other copper objects that you use for cooking, to get chemicals on them for cleaning purposes that wouldn't be safe to ingest.

Therefore, below I have provided two recipes for natural copper cleaner that work quite well.

Homemade Copper Cleaner Recipe Using Salt And A Mild Acidic Liquid

The main copper cleaning ingredient is any weak acid, such as vinegar or lemon juice, combined with salt.

I personally prefer lemon juice because I think the smell is better.

Check out this article about using lemon and salt as a copper super cleaner for full details on how to clean your copper with natural ingredients.

You can also see this video demonstrating the almost magical effect of this cleaning method on your copper pots.
