[Spooyt Vane]

try silver dip and a very soft cloth

in my opinion  this is much better than silver dip and leaves a  matt/eggshell finish rather than a shiny finish

[davtec (dave)]

OK Rob i will try it never to old learn

MAKE YOUR OWN SILVER DIP

When silver oxidizes, it tarnishes. Tarnish dips work to repair and remove tarnish from quality silver. Most commercial dips are used when heavy, dark colored tarnish cannot be removed with traditional pastes or polishes. Chemical dips are wiped on silver with cotton balls and specialized applicators, and then submerged in a chemical make up of acid and a complexing agent. You can make your own chemical dip by following these instructions:

1. Fill sink full of steaming hot water.

2. Mix 2-tablespoons salt and 2-tablespoons baking soda in bowl.

3. Add mixture to sink of hot water.

4. Cut a small sheet of aluminium foil and push it to the bottom of sink.

5. Dip silver items. Most tarnish will slide off. For stubborn stains, allow them to sit for up to 5-minutes at a time.

6. Rinse well.

7. Dry.

8. Store properly.


OR

small plastic container like an aerosol top, put silver foil on the base (inside the container), place the object on top, put  in some soda crystals and then pour boiling water on top.
It will pull off all the crud on silver items and can be repeated if necessary with a clean mix.
