I took some clad I got from the park yesterday and put it in vinegar, baking soda and a little salt. Naturally, it bubbled up and after a little while, black started coming off and it looked like they would clean up very nicely. I forgot to take it out overnight and got up this morning to see the liquid had turned blue and when I emptied the bowl, all the clad (Quarters, dimes and pennies) had turned bright pink. Should I have cleaned them seperately, or is this a natural chemical reaction that I just hadn't have happen before? Thoughts? Suggestions?
