For large items use ketchup. For smaller items I use white toothpaste (not gel) and a damp tooth brush. I use both for items I sell on Ebay. The toothpaste also works on silver and gold jewelry. Gets in all knooks and crannies. Shines up gemstones also without any damage. Rinse and dry.
for pots and other durable items, copper Kleen King...works like scrubbing powder on brass and other copper based metals. Ketchup is not any safer . They are both just acid.
