So save yourself the grief, and give it a proper scrub-up now, to prevent any future horror. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had a BIG silver vase (12 inches tall) which was so tarnished, you couldn't TOUCH it without washing your hands. It took me three days to polish off all the crud, and even when I sold it, my customer said he spent another day trying to clean it. The longer the tarnish stays on - the harder it is to remove.
