Is cleaning my coin collection with Brasso a good way to clean them?

I collect the Lincoln pennies, Jefferson nickels, Washington quarters, and the Roosevelt dimes. There are some that are so dirty and so stained, I was wondering if using Brasso cleaner is a good method of cleaning the coins. It would make my collection look very nice I am sure, but will it harm them in anyway? Does it really take away from any value that they may have? If so, are there good alternatives? I have tried using things like ketchup, lime juice, and even Tabasco sauce with no real luck. Thanks for the help :)
