Javaguy:

I think it works like: the peroxide "oxidizes" the copper, i.e.
decomposes it,
and the muriatic acid dissolves the decomposed copper.
I think the vinegar (acetic acid) would probably work, but it would
have to be a very strong vinegar. Household vinegar is about
2 or 3 percent acid.

Someone will certainly correct me if I am wrong.
