Silverware

Find a container large enough to immerse the item to be cleaned. Put a piece of aluminium foil into the container and add hot water and salt. Dip the silverware into the solution and after a few seconds it will become white and shining.

Sent in by Cristobal Reyes Perez - thanks.

As this is obviously caused by a chemical reaction I don't know if it would damage the silver in any way.

I have now been sent an explanation by Joseph Collins as to why the above works which is as follows:-

Cleaning silver with aluminium foil - the reason this works is Aluminium is very active metal and silver is quite inert so aluminium reacts with the (tarnished silver) and frees up the silver metal and removes the rest in a chemical reaction. Silver is fairly inert but will react with any sulphur compounds in the air which is why Silver slowly tarnishes.

Clean silver with the juice of a lemon and polish up with a soft clean cloth.

Use cotton buds to get into difficult crevices.

After cleaning your good silver to prevent it tarnishing, store it in an airtight plastic container.

Libby Tynan sent us this one, thanks.

Toothpaste is good for removing tarnish on Sliver. Coat the silver with toothpaste and then with it under warm water, work it into a foam using gentle pressure. Rinse well.

Easy way to clean sterling silver is to use Crest toothpaste a toothbrush and water. seconds of brushing and shine, shine, shine!

WARNING - toothpaste is mildly abrasive so don't rub hard. Be very wary when cleaning antiques or silver jewelry as this can not only damage the item but may also affect it's value.

Pasta Autosol

rowniez podpisze sie pod pasta do zebow. najlepiej wybielajaca:D

zwykle mleczko do czyszczenia - typy CIF

to prawda, może tez być ocet, chwile zamoczyć a potem szmatka i należy dokładnie spłukać, bo zczernieje, sa też w sklepie pasty i płyny do srebra.

Żadna pasta do zębów, powoduje ścieranie srebra. Stary i skuteczny sposób: porcelanowe (oby nie plastik i metale inne) wykładamy folią aluminiową, wsypujemy w zależności od wielkości, ale dużo soli kuchennej, zalewamy wrzątkiem i wkładamy srebro... zapach niezapomniany-czysty siarkowodór, ale po wyjęciu jest piękne i błyszczące, na koniec myjemy mydłem z wodą i gotowe

Potwierdzam dziala, czysta magia :D
ps. jakis antyczny temat odkopany?
