Sterling Silver

Jet

I’m off to a boot sale tomorrow to (hopefully) make a few quid.

I’m selling a couple of silver plated vases. However, they are very tarnished and need cleaning. I don’t want to go out and buy silver cleaner especially for them as I have no other silver that I could use it for.

Does anyone know of any household product that will clean silver?

In the Cleaning section of the MEGA Index at the top of the Old Style forum listing are some recipes that will help you. They're listed under silver

I inadvertently found a silver cleaner which works amazingly well. I steamed some grren beans and put the saucepan to one side with the steaming water still in it. I left a silver serving spoon half in and half out of the water and the half that was in emerged gleaming

Hi Squeaky,

I looked at the index before I posted and couldn't see anything. I've just looked again and I've found it.

Lemon juice and baking soda is the stuff apparently. :T

If the lemon juice and baking soda doesn't work - I'll try this as I have a few leftover green beans in the fridge.

Thanks
