<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 128123, member: 59"]I don't know about the use of oven cleaner, but I believe that what's on those is primarily grime from finger oils and accumulated dust/dirt built up over years without cleaning. Trying silver polish before breaking down that layer of grime is an exercise in frustration. You have to find something that will remove the grime before anything else. You could try soaking in warm very soapy water - over here I would use Dawn, but I doubt you have that brand, Mak. If there's a dish soap brand there that "cuts grease," try it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
