Also, I was hoping to give the plastic a safe, but clean scrubbing and remove the old stickers and add reprolables onto it. Any suggestions on how to safely clean the plastic too?

Although it might not be possible, and I'm guessing I might end up really rusting up the metal.
Problem is that once the rust gets there, its a real pain to get off. However, try using rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball or a q-tip on the metal part (the higher the alcohol content, the better). If you get some on the plastic, no big deal. If you find you're getting smearing on the metal as you wipe, try spraying a tiny bit of alcohol on it, and then use a hair dryer to dry it off.

It might not get anything off if its oxidation, but if its just grime or dirt, it might help.
