If your not careful when mixing your own citric acid and make it too strong it will etch the copper.

Citric acid from the Asian food shop is cheaper than lemons in the uk.
I have used hydrogen peroxide on the saddles before with good success, non toxic after a few hours.

It works a treat.
For the copper I just soak in lemon juice over night.

I use denture cleaning steradent but not sure if you get them in UK.
I place 2 tabs in a bowl, drop the saddles on top then add enough boiling water to cover the saddles and a bit.
Leave them over night and they look as good as new, just rinse in fresh water and use.
