    Well that makes sense with Hydro's suggestion about lemons. Both are acidic. Orange juice will work just as well too.

    Coke works wonders on metals too...(the soda)

    You may be surprised at how well Coke can clean metals. After all, Coke does contain three different acids.

    Acids can eat metal, but being a citric acid with the lemons and vinegar, you would have to leave the tags in there for a long time (weeks) so overnight or 2 should be fine.
