Cleaning Copper Water Pitcher

I have a copper water jug (pitcher) and I have a hard time cleaning it to keep it shiny. I use lemon and salt to rub and clear the deposits formed by water but it takes a lot of time and I don't get the best results. Can anyone tell me any other easier and better method?

On my copper bottomed pans I use Bar Keepers Friend. On the shelf by the powdered sink cleansers.

Have you tried a commercial polishing cloth or brasso? Not sure if they would work but you can always try it on the bottom of the pitcher as the inconspcuous spot!

I clean copper with ketchup. Rub it on and let it sit a minute. Rub it some more (with more ketchup) to make it shiny and then wash it with soap and water. Dry it immediately so it doesn't water spot. Hope this helps!
