Cleaning Copper Cookie Cutters

Here's a summary of one method:

1. Mix about a pint of vinegar with about a teaspoon of salt in a
shallow tray.  I actually use a different acid, but vinegar is good.

2. Immerse cutter fully.

3. If the vinegar is strong enough, the cutter will immediately get
pretty bright.  Swish it around a bit if needed.  If needed, brush
gently with a small brush, like a 1/2" paintbrush.

4. Prepare another shallow tray, sink or bowl with some hot soapy water.

5. Move the cutter into the hot soapy water, then rinse thoroughly with
clean water, and IMMEDIATELY dry with a towel.

6. After it is dried, a bit of #000 steel wool could be used to polish
off any remaining fingerprints, etc...

IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you remove the cutter from the vinegar and set it
down to air dry, it will quickly become VERY stained and look very bad.
It has to be dried off immediately after taking it out of the rinse water.

OTHER NOTE:  If the copper item is too big or odd shaped, the vinegar
and salt could be made into a paste by adding flour.  This past could be
brushed onto the item to be cleaned.
