The only time I've noticed white residue, is with a hard water supply,

Sorry, I meant hard water. My fingers didn't type what I was instructing them to :)
Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try.

Toothpaste and an old toothbrush works well in sprucing up chrome as well Stuart

Lemon juice works well as well.... smells better than vinegar too!
True - but it's more expensive! Half a lemon, dipped in coarse salt, cleans copper very well.
Wife's Tesco shopping list for this morning looks something like this now:
Bottle of Vinegar.
No, scrub that - I meant a tube of toothpaste.
No, no, no, I meant get a lemon ;)
Thanks all - I didn't realise it was that simple!

Were you the one having difficulty making soldered joints? ;-)

In the really hard water area I live in this doesn't work. I use Kilrock, the K version on non-enamelled surfaces and the Gel version where there's enamel near. Mind you round here it doesn't take years to get a noticeable deposit, just a couple of weeks.
Yes, I suppose I should have been more careful in my phrasing - kitchen utensils and decorative items only!
