Tamarind pulp if mixed with sea salt is a very good metal polish, no hard scrubbing, just spread on the ware and then rinse with non-mineral water or distilled water.
Tamarind is known in India to remove flouride from water. It is now being mentioned as a possible anti radiation also. Make tamarind juice mixing some pulp with a bit of organic cane sugar and salt. Be careful, tamarind is also a laxative.
