Goddards Long Term Silver Polish 125ml

Product Information

Dips offer a much easier way of cleaning silver by eliminating the need to rub or work with messy creams and liquids. If you find your great aunt’s heirloom artifacts tucked in the attic, this is a good option to clean and provide a protective barrier. While this cleaner does not work on stainless steel, it can clean other silver items besides cutlery.

Silver polishes come in various forms, including foam, cream, liquid, disposable wipes, wadding, and cloth. Today’s silver polish includes powerful ingredients designed to remove tarnish by separating the sulfur from the silver to preserve the piece while cleaning it. Having tongs or donning gloves to get your pieces out of the solution will protect your skin from exposure. Not only will the microfiber provide a soft surface to buff with, but it can also reduce lint and other exposures. Each package comes with two textured cloths meant to tackle different jobs — an inner cloth that cleans, and an outer cloth that polishes.Foam polishes are often more powerful and can settle into the crevices of fine detailing, so it's a better choice for larger, more ornate silver pieces. Wipes such as Simple Shine Silver Wipes will clean silver-plated objects without removing the layer of silver. Placing a container of activated charcoal or a piece of chalk in the storage area will minimize future tarnish. Hagerty Silversmiths’ Spray Polish is also easy to use for removing and preventing tarnish, offering a simple, one-step process to achieve shiny results.

A. When it comes to small, tight crevices on sterling silver jewellery, it’s best to use a dip or bath.

A single wipe can clean up to four five-piece flatware sets, two to three small items, or one to two large pieces (like teapots or serving platters).

The gentle formula rejuvenates tarnished silver while also leaving behind a protective coating — and since it's ammonia-free and scratch-resistant, it's safe to use on everything from gemstones to your grandmother's gravy boat. Unlike the other polishes on our list, these wipes will work best on purely silver items that do not include other stones and metals such as diamonds or gold. This formula is gentle enough to test out, remove tarnish, and reveal some shine without scratching or harming silver products.Some types of silver cleaners can be used to clean other types of metals, such as gold, platinum, and brass. In addition, people who live in areas with higher levels of air pollution are also likely to find that their silver items tarnish quickly.
