How can I clean my copper sink?

My copper sink is supposed to be washed with a mild soap like Palmolive dish detergent, so that the patina is not brightened, which we do. But the issue I’m having is that it looks like there is soap scum around the top design and no matter how much I rinse it & wipe it, it doesn’t come off. The problem is that if I use anything acidic to get off the white, it will take off the patina. Any suggestions?

Use Dawn Dish soap it will cut soap scum & greasy residue
Barkeepers friend. It is hands down the best on copper and brass. Find it in grocery but the Comet and other kitchen cleaners.
Put the plug in and pour in Coca-Cola regular (not diet, not Pepsi or other Brand). Let soak several hours or overnight. Drain the sink and then wipe with ketchup on a chamois.
They have a copper cleaner you can buy. I use it on my pans.

The appearance you're describing is part of the patina's characteristic. If you want to remove the whiteness, you'll alter that process. Only way to remove the whitish patina is to clean with a copper cleaner to return the shiny finish and start over.

You can try using a toothpick on the detailing, wet it down and just run the tip along the grooves, the wood won't hurt the finish
TLC will help .. you can get in any hardware store
