Removing tarnish from copper pans.

I have some pans I brought from aldi. Love them.

Copper on the outside, silver on the inside.

They have been like that since the first time I used them.

How can I get these marks off that won't take hours of scrubbing which I don't think will work anyway.

Is there a magic trick product anyone else uses?

Make a paste of lemon juice and bicarb and rub it in. Works a treat.

@Sgtmajormummy

I saw this today on Amazon! I am debating whether to buy it or whether there is something easier

@lostlanguages what measurements are best? Or do you just lash it in and hope for the best

Honestly just rub pink stuff on and rinse off.
Job done 😃

If you don't have any of the other suggestions around you can also try ketchup...sounds weird but I've used it before and it worked pretty well.

I'd second the tomato ketchup route. Rub it on, leave for a few hours depending how deep/bad it is. Rise off well, dry.

I like it because it’s environmentally friendly (extract of rhubarb) and doesn’t scratch like Vim powder so I can use it on tiles and glass shower enclosures etc.

Ordering the pink stuff now

Table salt and lemon juice

@jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey

Pans are sparkling! Not like brand new but fuck me about 95% brand new. Thank you for the recommendation.
