How do i polish Silver Ornaments ?

Answer 1

With a special Silver polish and polish hard.

Answer 2

Polishing gradually wears away the silver. Here's a technique that turns the black stuff (mostly silver sulphide) back into silver metal.

First you need some washing soda. (No baking soda doesn't work!). Dissolve as much as will go into 2 pints of boiling water, then let it cool. Line a plastic bowl with aluminium foil. Pour in the soda solution and put your silver in. Don;t worry about the fizzing! It's CO2 given off by the soda as it removes the sulphur from the silver. When it stops fizzing (2 minutes to 2 hours depending how dirty the silver is) remove the silver, dry it and buff it up with a soft cloth.

Answer 3

put soap powder and boiling water into an aluminium saucepan and let the silver stand in it for around a half an hour.you could also a few drops of methelated spirits to add lustre to the silver before taking it out to polish with a dry cloth

Answer 4

Often "silver ornaments" are just spray painted with silver-colored paint. Eventually the paint just wears off. There isn't much you can do to fix that except to spray paint the ornaments again with silver spray paint. You might wait until you can do this outside because it will stink. Also remember to cover any parts you don't want painted with painter's tape. (Remove the painter's tape while the paint is still wet or you can end up pulling paint off right along with the tape.) Hope this helps. -

Answer 9

if it`s good silver than don`t cause you will lower the price of it when you go to sell it but you can get a cleaner that you put in hot water that way you do not remove the silver

Answer 10

if u r a smoker, save the ash and rub onto the object. Wash off after. Believe me, it works far better than expensive creams. it is not abrasive and is a trick used by antique dealers before selling items. If u r not a smoker, ask a smoker for their ash. Good luck.
