Lemon or tamarind juice is effective in cleaning tarnished copper vessels due to their acidic nature. The sour substances contain citric acid in lemon juice and tartaric acid in tamarind juice. These acids react with the tarnish on the copper surface, which is usually a layer of copper oxide, and help to dissolve it. The acidic properties of lemon or tamarind juice help to remove the tarnish and restore the shine of the copper vessels.
