UM,
most dishwashing liquids that I have seen and use are Ph neutral - the flavouring found in mouthwash may leave residue, and at least the ingredients on the mouthwash I use advertise benzoic acid........
I will stick with dishwashing liquid and a good rinse or two.
The stiff brush that I use has nylon bristles and I scrubbed a piece of brass first to see if it scratches - it didn't. I have a different size one for the leadpipe.
