Cool Lacquer question

Hello all, I have a question about a colored lacquer. I bought a pocket trumpet for a hundred dollars on Ebay last year and there's an odor to it. I think it's the blue lacquer. I've cleaned the horn out with warm water and dish detergent like I usually do with all my horns, but the smell bothers me and I think after using it last summer on my vacation, I developed sores in my mouth. Quite a lot. It could have been something else, I'm not sure. My question, finally, is what else can I clean it with. I'm not too concerned with damaging the lacquer. It's a cheap horn that I hardly ever use. I just want to take it on my vacation in a few weeks. Sorry for babbling.
Bob
