<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 208698, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I think i have cleaned more silver than all of you together. I LOVE polishing silver. I always wash it in hot water soapy water and then use a silver cream, rinse and then dry. I never have tried the ammonia soak and tin foil. I have used the dreaded not to be used Tarne-X on pieces that have been so black that polish does not work on. Just remember to polish it when clean like all the other silver. Never ever use it on regular tarnished silver. It has worked on silver that was in a fire and then buried in debris for months that a company wanted hundreds of dollars to restore. Two bottles of Tarne-X and a tub of regular cream polish, took 12 dollars and a few hours of work but it was beautiful when done.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
