Thank you. 2 ingredients and no scrubbing
I have used everything on the market to clean my collection of copper pots and pans and various other items. I stop this video and got out my Homer bucket put to gallons of vinegar into the bucket with a box of salt. Placed my Cooper pot into the mixture and it was clean in minutes. I have spent so much time cleaning my Cooper stuff this gets my number 1 top video on utube!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
So glad it could help!
Thank you so much you didn't make me sit through twenty five minutes of some guy talking about himself right to the point thank you😊
😆
I know what guy you're talking about...after a few minutes I left and found this one! Much much better!
🤣🤣🤣
It worked, like right away. Cool deal. I've been struggling lol. I have this bracelet and it's pure copper. I always wear it. It has its properties and protections and it's just been looking very tarnished. NOW ITS SHINING. YAAAAY. 😎
Thank you for letting us know how to clean our copper. Very helpful ❤😊
doing some of my copper now. I am so happy this video found me. Thankyou for sharing it.
Thank you! Was about to tumble a bunch of tarnished tiny copper findings and was so not looking forward to fishing out 2mm beads from the tumbling shot! Your video saved the day and a giant headache!
In a strange twist, salt and vinegar are two ingredients used to force patina/oxidize copper...
Ha ha yes
So simple, I’ve been using steel wool, so much less mess and quick !!
Lemon 🍋 juice and salt will work too
Worked in under 5 seconds for me 🥰 Thank you so much!
This worked immediately! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thanks had a copper mug I was specifically told not to leave water over night in but did 😅. Worked perfectly ❤
What no way!cim going to do this rn. Thank you! I'll let you know my results. 😎
Works great for cleaning up scrap copper too. I filled a tote with salt and vinegar andbput copper tubing scraps in it. Considering theybpay $1/lb less forbtarnished copper it is worth while.
Thanks so much! Amazing! I'm going to use it on some earrings and a copper awning.
Thank you! This is so helpful ❤
What does the salt do in this reaction?
Thank you will do
Thank you so much Madam🍷✨❤
very well explained and to the point, thank you for the share!
i have some jewely that have crystals in the wire wrap...will it be okay to submerge the whole piece in there like you did with the crystal in it?
@@Awareness_With_Dennis It all depends on the crystals. If they are somehow treated, such as dyed, etc., I cannot guarantee that they won't be harmed so I don't want to say, "sure, go ahead" so you may want to do more research on this first! (if it were me, I would probably try it, but would not keep it in the solution for very long and would rinse well afterwards.)
How often do you clean your copper jewelry?
Hi. Thanks for the video, very useful info. Can it work on silve tarnish?
That will be a different video because that is a different recipe, this is for copper
Thank you!!
Thank you so much ❤️
Laura WOW!!! I LOVE YOU!! YOU!!!!! YOU!!!! YOU!!!
Thank you! Will this work on any metal that is tarnished?
This is specific to copper, but I will do another video soon for silver.
Great, thanks!
it also worked on my silver tea sets...thank you so much
Thank you very much !!
Thank you! Off to snitch hubby's torch. PS 0.4 mm wire is 26 guage, and 1mm wire is 18 guage, for those of us in Canada/USA
That’s is really good 👍
Salt and vinegar. Old timers method, works very well.
This worked great. Is there something I can put on the copper to keep it from tarnishing? Thanks
not really, you just have to polish it or use this process.
Yes, clear enamel spray, or clear nail polish.
thanks
I wonder if this would work on VERTIGRIS on antique jewelry. I have a gorgeous antique green crystal 4-strand necklace (believe the crystals might contain lead). Each crystal openback and bezel and prong set. The setting is brass (with goldtone wash). However, there is vertigris on ALL THE PRONGS holding in over 400 stones. To deal with this manually would be maddening! I wonder if there's an easier way. Also wondering if the vinegar would remove the rest of the goldtone wash that remains... TIA.
I would be hesitant to use this on antique jewelry
Will this hurt beads and gemstones--for instance, a beaded bracelet?
Check out my latest Q&A video where I talk about this extensively! czcams.com/video/9E1w7WtoPgM/video.html
I have some copper wrapped crystals, would this work for these as opposed to dipping them in Tarnx?
I do not know, you would have to try it out. This process is safer and less corrosive than tarnex.
Love it - beautiful work! How well does the piece take to soldering? I have some glass with tarnished copper foil I'd like to solder.
You would have to remove the tarnish first!
does it have to be white vinegar?
Not sure, I haven't tried others.
Amazing! Thanks!!?
But when you want to sell jewelry by the time it gets to the customer is going to be tarnish again, how can i prevent that?
Store in an air-tight (zipper top) bag.
Is there a way to prevent tarnish?
Keep away from water and humidity. Unfortunately it will always tarnish so you have to just polish occasionally
Thank you for this recipe. Do you have an idea to clean a full size brass bed. It is more than a hundred years old.
You are very welcome, thanks for watching. It it is an antique, I would not clean it until you check with an antique specialist as cleaning may lower the value. Otherwise, you can create a paste with this recipe by adding a bit of flour and mixing it to a toothpaste-like or thinner consistency. Good luck!
Soak rags in salt-vinegar solution and drape over bed railing. You will notice the change in color. Removal of stains
Hi thanks for this , but what about aluminum foil lined up inside a none metal bowl, real hot water, and a tea spoon of salt, and arm and hammer baking soda stir and put jewelry in it it works on gold, silver, stainless steel and diamonds. But I have never tried it with copper. Can you make a video doing it the way I just describe with copper. Please let me know thanks. I just subscribed
You need an acid to get the patina off copper. Baking soda is a base, so it wouldn’t work. Any acid should work, though, some are just more effective than others. Vinegar is both effective and cheap, which is why it’s often chosen over other acids.
Hi..should it be rinsed with water after the treatment?
Wash with dish soap and water, then rinse well with water and dry with a soft cloth.
SA--WEET! 👍
how to neutralize the acid of the vinegar after? Baking soda?
You can just rinse it in water
If you have fake jewelry or cz this only made the tarnish turn bright pink 💔
It is probably not copper then!
Vinegar & salt. That's why ketchup works! (But it's way cheaper than ketchup!)
and a lot less sugar
Would apple vinegar work or does it have to be white?
I don't know, you would have to try it out and let us know, but I'm guessing yes
why put in the clean ones?
Not sure what you mean?
"No chemicals " .... Really ! ...Everything is chemistry, including Vinegar ( Acetic Acid ) and Salt ( Sodium Chloride)
Thank you for saying this! I’ve been sitting here biting my tongue. :)
Thank you so much ❤
