Default cleaning tin advice, Whiting?

I am looking for a cheap way to clean the rust and dust off my old tin doll house so I can give it to my DD. I looked up cleaning and most sites recomend superfine steel wool, or a raw potato dipped in whiting. I have a potato but I have no idea what whiting is?

I believe it's basically chalk (calcium carbonate) - your should be able to find it at any home improvement center.

Thanks . We managed to take the bottom of the house off so it should be a lot easier to get to the rust, to get it off.
