traevin Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 6:34 pm Does anyone know a good cleaner that will restore the shine to a couple of old, tarnished silver spoons that I found at a yard sale? Report this Post to the Staff

Ed_B Pillar of the Community United States 4008 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 7:26 pm Yep, sure do. Try "Professional Tarnish Remover" by Sunshine Products, Everett, WA. Don't know if they are still in business because a 2-oz. tub of the stuff lasts a LONG time but I have used their product for years and it works really well. It's even biodegradable.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 10:50 am I use TARNEX on mine. No reason, it works well and all I have to do is soak a soft rag and wipe, then rinse off the TARNEX and buff with a clean cloth. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 11:03 am I have used TARNEX as well. It STINKS but does the job very well. Rotten eggs with unidentified sub-tones. Re: rinsing COLD water is the recommendation. Report this Post to the Staff
Ed_B Pillar of the Community United States 4008 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 6:53 pm Yes, I have used Tarn-X as well but don't necessarily recommend it. The silver cleaner / polish I recommended works VERY well, is practically odorless, and is cheap. Report this Post to the Staff
DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 7:10 pm A silvyt silver cloth would do it... and there are plenty of "silver creams" that are perfectly effective. Silver oxidizes black but a little rub with a silvyt removes that and you will be surprised how it will shine again. These clothes are what the jewellery trade uses mainly if they don't want to go over something with a rouge-wheel. The creams you rub on leave for a bit and then rub off again... no need for rinsing... Edited by DavidUK 08/21/2012 7:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
