Lemon juice and salt work great on brass. Toothpaste works great on silver. Baking soda with vinegar can clean almost anything! I like cleaning the microwave with vinegar too and I like cleaning the fridge with it because at least if I miss some, there's nothing toxic in my frige. Great deodorizer!
