You clean gold brass instruments with warm soapy water! I find it is easier to do it in the bath than anywhere else. : You must be careful when cleaning brass instruments though... You can't just throw them in the bath tub! Make sure to completely disassemble the instrument, and remove any of the felt pads in your valves (they shouldn't get wet, because they become less effective). Remove all valves and slides. Make sure that the water is just WARM, NOT HOT!! Hot water damages brass instruments. Use a mild soap. In fact, a brass soap would be even better if you can find it. Be cautious when washing it so as not to scratch the finish. Use brushes to clean out the slides and tubing. Then, rinse out the horn well, and set it out to dry. Be sure to grease any slides and oil your valves when reassembling your horn. It sometimes takes quite a bit to make them run smooth, but they will. : Also, another great tip is to have your horn professionally cleaned AT LEAST every year, if not every 6 months. If you can afford it, you really should have it cleaned every six months for best performance. Pros use chemicals to get all the gunk and corrosion out of your horn, which will make it last a lot longer. : But, as a general answer... you can use warm soapy water to clean your horn.
