Hello all. I just got done with a party and I used small copper pots for the dips and sauces but when I came home to clean them, I cleaned them and noticed black spots and streaks on one of them but I don't know how to get them out.

I know copper needs to be cleaned and treated a special way but I am not sure how.

Any Ideas?

dear isaac,
did you try ketchup? i know it can take yrs. of tarnish off the bottom of my mom's old pans.

lemon dipped in fine salt rubbed on copper works too. as does water and cream of tartar.

Hi There,
I make a paste of Malt Vinegar and Baking Soda and rub on the copper it comes up a treat.
