You can clean brass in a mild solution of phosphoric acid and water. Only dip them on, leaving them in too long will turn the brass a nasty pink color. I don't remember how much acid to water, but a little experimentation will help you figure it out. Always, add the acidto the water.

Another possibility is put the cases in a pair of your wife's old panty hose and pop them right into the dishwasher. Do not do this with the dinner dishes. The brass will come out clean and dry. Run the dishwasher empty afterwards with a little bleach instead of the liquid dish soap. This will strip any lead from the interior of the washer.

Good luck.
