Cleaning Silver

As a “thank you” for the interview I recently did for the StainTalk blog (You can read it HERE), Carbona sent me a little package.

 
Inside were a couple of samples of Carbona Color Grabber Cloths. (I already knew these worked!)

 
There was also a brochure about Carbona Stain Devils.
 
If you’ve read my blog very long, you know from THIS post that I’m a BIG Stain Devils fan.
 
 
So when I saw these Carbona Silver Wipes, I was excited.  I’ve been wanting to try them. Supposedly they work on gold, copper, brass, and pewter, too!

 
These handy little wipes certainly promised to be a lot less messy than the silver polishing creams, but I wondered … Would they work? I’d just picked up these two monogrammed napkin rings a couple of days before, so I let them be the guinea pigs.

 
I started with the M.  It’s a pretty napkin ring, but it’s pretty tarnished.  We’ll see …

 
After less than a minute, I could already see a big difference!

 
And after just a very few minutes more, the wipe was pretty dirty…

 
… and the napkin ring was pretty clean!

 
Look at the difference after only about 5 minutes …

 
After just a few more minutes …

 
OK, I’m sold. I’ll definitely try these wipes again.
 
Carbona, is there anything else you want me to try? Send me another little package, and I’ll check it out, too!

  5. I have a really easy way to clean silver…Line a pan with aluminum foil…add water…dump in some baking soda…bring water to a boil…remove from heat and drop in the silver…instant polish! It is miraculous! Some kind of chemical reaction….

    But I would try these wipes too! Anything that makes it easier!

    Thanks for sharing!

  6. I was actually looking for a new silver polish to try. Providence!
    I had just about used up some that I had, and I hadn’t actually been that thrilled with it.
