The old lady has more than a few copper tea kettles that are tarnished and in need of a shining up. Flitz, crazy cloth, and tumbler media additive all work but require a good bit of rubbing. Anyone ever used a product that's quick and easy?

A mixture of vinegar and kosher salt works well. Any acid will work on the Copper oxide and make it shiny.

I use Bar Keeper's Friend and a moist paper towel myself. I have about thirty copper cooking pots and pans.
