Fortunately, there is a simple homemade trick to restore a radiant look without expensive cleaning agents. All you have to do is what you already have at home.
How to clean the cutlery to make them shiny? Cleaning of plated and silver cutlery
Over time, a dark deposit appears on silver and plated cutlery. Don’t worry, you don’t have to throw away all your dishes at once. Similar spots can be seen on jewelry. The occurrence of a black coating is a natural process. It is the result of a chemical reaction that occurs when the silver gets in contact with the sulfur in the air.
When buying a silver cutlery, you have to take into account that it requires regular care. Many silver cleaning agents are available in stores, but they can be expensive. Instead of spending a major on them, it is better to try a simple home medicine. All you need is a toothpaste.
- Apply toothpaste to each fork, spoon or knife and use a soft sponge to thoroughly spread over their surface.
- Then rinse them under running water, dry thoroughly and you’re done.
- To make the dishes shine, the cutlery is worth soaking in a pot of boiling water and a little vinegar.
