There are many household steps that can be applied in the care of silverware
Aluminum foil and washing up liquid: Cover a bowl with aluminum foil, pour hot water, and add a tablespoon of liquid laundry detergent, stirring. Silver artifacts are dropped into a bowl, while the accessories are deposited and soaked for a minute. Silver comes out with kitchen tongs, rinsed with lukewarm water, and placed on a paper towel to dry.
Aluminum foil and baking soda: Cover a bowl with aluminum foil, pour hot water, add 1 tablespoon baking soda, and stir. Leave the dull silver in the bowl for 15 seconds. Remove the ornaments with kitchen tongs, then leave them on a paper towel until they cool. The experiment is repeated to obtain the desired result.
Corn flour and water: In the event that silver loses its luster, the following recipe is effective in restoring its luster: Prepare a thick paste of cornflour and water, and place it on the silver piece, until the dough dries. Then, the silver is rubbed with a towel to restore the shine.
Ketchup: Ketchup effectively removes stains from silver products. Put a few drops of "ketchup" on a paper towel, rubbing pots or jewelry.
But if there is an old accumulation of stains, the ketchup is left on the products directly, for a period of 15 minutes. Rub the utensils or jewelry, with a microfiber cloth, while rinsing the utensils with water. In the case of home accessories, which include some details, such as candlesticks and silver utensils, a soft toothbrush can be used to reach between cracks and clean stains, effectively.
Hand sanitizer is a product used to polish silver jewelry
1. Hand sanitizer products are included under the quick solutions used for polishing silver jewelry. In this context, a small amount of hand sanitizer is placed on a soft paper towel, gently rubbing the jewelry, and taking into account the avoidance of trying this recipe on jewelry studded with metal stones because some components of hand sanitizer may damage the stone.
2. A small amount of non-abrasive toothpaste is placed on a soft towel (or paper napkin), while rubbing silverware and utensils, following circular motions, in order to clean and polish. After waiting for 5 minutes, rinse the paste with water, as this method makes the silver clean and shiny again.
