Does anyone have a "non-toxic" homebrew formula or know of a brand that can quickly removes carbon buildup from the inside of brass without too much effort ?
1/4 cup of concentrated lemon juice, a squirt of dish liquid, put brass in an ice cream bucket and fill to the top of the brass with warm water.
Let soak for a few minutes and then gently work brass around the solution by hand, a few minutes and you should have shiny brass.
Rinse well after, yer done.
