Btw i used Hydrochloric acid and it worked i got a bright sound btw will this destroy my strings ?

I would think that the acid depending on the amount of time that they were soaked, would indeed weaken the overall strength of the strings. But then again. I'm no science major.

Very bad.

It corrodes most common stainless steels, I doubt ones used in string manufacture are resistant, though I could be wrong.

You should be able to find DN in any hardware or drugstore, also known as methylated spirits.
