Clean Copper with Vinegar, Salt and Baking Soda

How to clean rusted copper with vinegar and salt. The sodium bicarbonate is for neutralizing the acid, because if not, the acid would corrode the surface of the copper.

This worked perfectly on a 25 year old water pipe in the wall, three inches of copper that has gotten plenty of corrosion under the toilet and needed to shine again since we were redoing the bathroom floors/sink cabinet, and replaced that pipe collar with a shiny new one.
Four minutes rubbing the copper with a paper towel doused in the vinegar/salt, and a couple minutes with the water/baking soda to neutralize the acidity, and the pipe was like new!
I first tried another video's recommendation to use fingernail polish remover, and that was about 30% as effective as these two solutions.
