Simply brush it off with steel wool rather than using any chemicals.
Listen to a Good Book
Sand-blasting works really well.. but I doubt you have a sand-blaster handy.

I used to use a simple mixture of vinegar and baking soda to remove the tarnish from old pennies.

It depends on what exactly the bell is made of. Different materials react differently to chemicals. If it’s metal, but of unknown origin, believe it or not, Coca-Cola has been used in the past to remove rust stains on metals. It’s up to you whether you consider that non-toxic for your bell, or for your body for that matter.

If it is small enough, wire brush. One attached to a drill works wonders. If you think it is too large, I would take it to get sandblasted.
Be sure you are ready to prime it the day you strip it. I will likely rust again overnight.
non toxic cleaner
a friend of mine had an old key that she wanted to clean. She dropped it into some vinegar for the night. It was rust free when she found it.

If it is an old iron bell rub it down with bacon and bake it in the oven at 400 for about 10 minutes. Then brush and apply more oil. Cool naturally or it may *****.
