<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 554044, member: 111&quot;]However one wants to treat their silver and silverplate is their business, if you like it tarnished, then leave it, but know that in the long run, it is not good for the metal; if you want to use certain cleaning methods on your silver, then do so, but care should be taken in recommending those methods to others.&nbsp; Personally, would not use chemical dips or the aluminum foil method - too much experience with resulting damage, nor would I use toothpaste or baking soda for polishing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have posted links to Jeff Herman&#039;s site many times before, and will continue to do so - there is valuable information there from a skilled and respected silversmith, restorer and conservator (that said, I&#039;ve been known to use products he doesn&#039;t care for).</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver Care Guide:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.hermansilver.com/care.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.hermansilver.com/care.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.hermansilver.com/care.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Silver Polish Abrasion Ratings:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.hermansilver.com/silver-polish-abrasion-ratings.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.hermansilver.com/silver-polish-abrasion-ratings.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.hermansilver.com/silver-polish-abrasion-ratings.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
