    Wright's copper polish and some elbow grease should take care of this problem quite nicely. We've been using this for over 50 years on our copper bottomed cookware.

    Wet with vinegar and sprinkle with table salt, then scrub lightly. The tarnish will disappear.

    Hi Rosalie!

    I use Twinkle copper cleaner. I just ordered my recent jar from Amazon. It works great, and it is so easy to apply and clean off. I have a lot of copper in my kitchen and this is what I use. My mother used Twinkle for years as well.

    I always keep a spray bottle of Dawn and vinegar ready for cleaning in the kitchen. Whenever I need to shine the bottom of my copper pans, I just spray some on the pan base (add some salt if needed to help scrub). Quick and easy and my 45 year old copper shines like new. Good luck!
