Does vinegar harm brass?
Over time, even the shiniest brass gets tarnished, dirty and dingy. In many cases, simple household products such as vinegar and salt can clean brass. They're a safe and inexpensive alternative to commercial cleaners.
How long do you soak brass in vinegar?
Make a vinegar-water solution by mixing one part water and two parts vinegar in a container. Be sure your container is large enough to allow your brass item to be completely submerged. Sink your object into the solution and allow it to soak for two to three hours. Then, remove it, rinse it with clean water, and dry it.
Can you clean a trumpet mouthpiece with vinegar?
To remove limescale, you can use hydrogen peroxide or vinegar. You should use vinegar with the acidity of around 4 to 6 %. Use two sets of cotton. Stuff one end of the mouthpiece with one cotton and remove it after 10 minutes.
