Do not rub too hard, as you can remove the bluing.

I use Chore Boy and they work fine. Cheap and available at local grocery. Immediate delivery and no shipping charges. Only ACME delivering to Wilie Coyote has better service.
I keep an oiled one in and old prescription bottle under my table at shows. Loaning it out to some other dealers made them converts.
For removing rust I use motor oil. Figure the detergent in the oil might help. Wipe with cloth frequently and rinse the Chore Boy. While the copper is soft, the suspended rust particles are hard enough to scratch the blue.
