slightly OT copper cleaning question

[insanity]

My girlfriend (Sarah) just got a copper mixing bowl. It says to clean useing a copper cleaner, but not a pollish. Anyone have any ideas as to what a copper cleaner consists of? Would vinegar work?

Thanks

Half a lemon and salt. Rub in the salt. Wash. Done! No chemicals.

The copper mixing bowl is best used for beating egg white . The egg white reacts with the copper to give more volume therefore there shouldn't be anything on the copper such as stuff from polish.In addition any fat at all will interfere with the forming of the beaten whites so it has to be thoroughly clean with detergents and if you want to polish the salt/lemon juice will work fine.
