[QUOTE="Thrifster, post: 602150, member: 6264"]I wasn't suggesting you clean your old antique silver or antique flatware or valuable silver with this method.

I would not want to sit down at someones dining room table and eat with tarnished or dark in crevices flatware. It's just a suggestion on a case by case basis, do your research.

Some people are perfectly happy using it on vintage jewelry they no longer would use if they had not used this method. I think it's a way better solution than any other chemical solution such as jewely cleaner solution you buy at the jewelry store to dip your jewelry in and burn the tarnish off with the acid dip. Again, do you're research and determine any cleaning methods on a case by case basis best for you if you think the item or items needs it. Here's another link with feedback on this method from people who have used it with mixed reviews and comments towards the lower portion of the page.
