A cheap and easy solution for cleaning brass
1 cup hot water
1 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
I like the kosher salt, but just a preference
3-4 drops of liquid dish detergent may be added if there is grease, grime and dirt in/on the cases
You don't have to totally emerse the cases but you do want enough solution to keep a strong solution on the cases during the entire process. Place brass and solution in a tight closing container, look in the cupboard for a plastic drink container. Shake and aggitate for 10 minutes. Then rinse real good. This will definitely clean the cases does leave them dull but a little tumbling will shine them right up. I am told that this is the old Government Springfield Armory's formula.
