How do you make copper bottles shine?

Published in Cleaning 1 min read

You can make copper bottles shine using a simple and effective method: baking soda and lemon.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

Baking Soda and Lemon Method

This method utilizes the abrasive properties of baking soda and the acidity of lemon to remove tarnish and restore shine.

  1. Prepare: Cut a lemon in half.
  2. Apply Baking Soda: Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda onto the cut surface of the lemon wedge.
  3. Rub: Gently rub the lemon wedge, with the baking soda, all over the copper bottle's surface. The baking soda acts as a mild abrasive to help lift away tarnish, while the lemon juice helps to dissolve it.
  4. Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the bottle with water to remove all traces of baking soda and lemon juice.
  5. Dry: Dry the bottle completely with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots.

This method is effective for removing tarnish and restoring the shine to your copper bottles.
