I would never thought to use hand sanitizer to remove tarnish and grime off of a silver piece. Very impressive results.

Jeff you did amazing thank you for sharing you motivarte me to clean my tray.

Simply amazing!

Thanks so much. I finally ran out of my stash of Gorhams polish and tried the tinfoil method with a small piece. It took away the tarnish, but the lustre was gone. I tried another polish, but it did the same thing. moan Your method works! Great.

Thank you for this wonderful and instructive video!

The advice about putting down a towel is important.

Thank you for this. I just watched a video where the guy used a single small square of cloth to polish an old vase for 10 minutes straight. The cloth was so small and filthy it looked and sounded like steel wool. When that didn't work he set the vase to the polishing wheel. Why he didn't just use the aluminum-foil/baking-soda technique I don't know, since his net result was total removal of patina anyway but his effort was excessive. Anyway, thanks for showing us how it's supposed! to be done.

And here i was thinking of cleaning silverware the way i clean electron gun components for electron microscopes. Using a mild polishing compound and lots of manual labor.

Very nice video

2:34 is my favorite part!

Hey Jeff! Thanks for the great video. I was wondering what you would recommend to get the scratches out of the silver tray. Do you have another video on that? Thanks!

Playback speed 2x much more satisfying to watch. :)

How do you remove scratches? I have a neurotic obsession with perfection or are scratches just normal with silver?

Nice tips

Hi, this video gave me hope. May I ask which polish did you use and where I can buy it? Obviously I thank you for Linking your site address, the tips are very useful!

Would you ever use the aluminum foil/baking soda method to clean silver? There seems to be hundreds of videos on line proclaiming how well it works. Seems to be rather a caustic way to clean silver. I tried it once on a cheap piece and it came out dull and discolored. No amount of polishing ever restored it. I may be old school...but I'll stick with silver polish!

Any recommendation on the brand of hand sanitizer or are they all the same in your opinion? Thanks

So what brands of polish and all that should I buy

Sir how does silver polish on steel utensils. can you tell me? Please video sir

Hi, what's the name of the polish please?

After you removed the grime, wouldn't it be better to use the electric method?

I am polishing silver forks. Should I keep polishing until there is no black coming off onto the rag/cotton ball? I’m starting to feel like that is never going to happen, and that the polish is somehow creating the blackness!

I need some help I don’t know if you have an instagram to contact. I scored a multihead candlestick holder. Made of zinc silver plated metal from England but someone spray painted it with silver paint. 😭 can I restore it? Without stripping the silver plated zinc? Please explain steps to fix it if possible

Is that really kasef?

May i name of the polish please!

Is there anyway to get a vinegar stain off?

Sir you is cleaning silver plat. What is it

2:30 is why we all clicked

I have a question- my older vintage Tiffany silver isn't tarnishing like my new pieces, can the new items be plated with something? I've had tiffany polish them twice (sent to NY) and they are tarnished again. I use the anti tarnish strips when not wearing pieces. Please recommend a cleaner I can use at home or if I can have these items "plated" in something. Thank you!

Why hand sanitizer, why not just cut to the chase and just use isopropyl alcohol?

try ciggarette ash's from a ash try ---pretty cool huh? .lol
