Hi Jenny - I amazed myself when I could put my hand right on this bit of information (some digging was required!)
CLEANING BRASS PINS: In a heat-proof mug or bowl put 1 TBSP vinegar, 1 TBSP liquid detergent and about 3/4 cup of boiling water. Put the pins in the mixture and let sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse and drain. Let dry in a warm place. Your pins will sparkle like new!
