Question: Question for brass players - is tarnish remover bad for you!?

I play a brass instrument and use Hagerty's silversmith's polish to remove the tarnish on the mouthpiece!. Though I wash it off, I can still smell it on the mouthpiece which I have on my mouth for hours a day!. Does anyone know if this is bad for your health or is there a better way to remove tarnish from the mouthpiece!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
