i tried the solution on http://www.home-jewelry-business-suc...r-jewelry.html on an old candle stick (how quaint)! seems to work better than the sauce (sauce seems to work better on brass and bronze) what are they putting into our food? VIVA NEWSTALK

well i tried the baking powder method and it did take the black off but only now its a very dull grey colour.. so i thinking about trying the brown sauce again to see if it polishes it up abit... i've added a few photos there not great but there is a big difference in colour
cheers marie |

ooohh that's so sad- I think some sort of chemical reaction took place--- check on some internet sites- I dunno- I can't see any household product fixing that...........I'll have a look for you..
Kind Regards Jeana |

I don't know if you have solved the problem you are having. I am reading a magazine and in the tips section it gives one for cleaning tarnish from silver.
'Save the water after boiling potatoes and use it to clean your silver. It removes tarnish, leaving your valuables sparkling!' If nothing else has worked, maybe this will. Take Care |

I have just saved a very, very tarnished Newbridge bangle! Cover a bowl with tin foil, add a tablespoon of bread soda, pop in silver item and cover with boiling water. In literally 30 seconds the bangle was good as new, I'm just sorry I didn't do before and after pics, as the difference was amazing.
However, here's the disclaimer...............I found this method on google, and it was the first and only time I've tried it, having said that, Newbridge stuff seems to be more delicate than sterling silver so I'd say it's fairly safe to try on anything silver, best of luck and hope this helps, Shonastar x |
