Me again, just saw your note that silver shouldnt be stored in felt. Does that include the felt (?) bags that my silver bowls came in?
And another question -- can I clean my horribly tarnished silverplate placesettings with the polishing cloths? Or are they beyond recovery?
Thanks

I've been using Cape Cod Polish for about 10 years--jewelry and serving dishes & silver--I love it! And I keep using the same cloth over & over --you don't have to throw it out even when it turns black. And unless I have a lot of polishing to do, I don't bother with the gloves. Love it!

Hi MommyofJ,
No problem storing the silver bowls in the felt bags that they came in. These bags are typically treated with an anti-tarnish agent.
The Cape Cod Metal Polishing Cloths work wonders on silverplate, even pieces that have been sitting around for years!

Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for your kind words! You're right, keep using the cloths until they fall apart. And if you leave them out overnight you can revitalize with a few drops of mineral spirits or vegetable oil.

Good to know that you can keep using those pink cloths even when they are black with tarnish. You know I'm a huge fan and will now gleefully polish up metals in our home. Wendy

Wait, does the same cloth polish the different kinds of metals? How does that work? I have a copper polish, silver polish, brass polish. It would be nice to be able to not have to buy all those polishes. Also,like Sylvia's note that you can re-use the cloths.

Here's a tip for removing heavy corrosion on brass or copper:
Try a piece of lemon dipped in salt, or hot vinegar and salt.
Also if if the piece is not decorated with materials that hot water will damage, they can also be boiled in water containing salt and vinegear. By doing this most of the corrosion will be loosened or removed. You can then finish with a Cape Cod Metal Polishing Cloth to restore the desired shine!

Hi ReneeG,
That's right Cape Cod Metal Polishing Cloths clean, polish, & protect ALL metals. So you don't have to buy separate polishes. From silverware to brass andirons to aluminum wheels, and jewelry!

I would LOVE to have my children polish the silver but have always worried about them with the fumes of the silver polish and getting it on their skin. They also complain about its smell. I am delighted to learn about this product and feeling good about passing on this chore to the children! Also liked the stainless steel cloth you had on teh other day.

Jared, are you on Cape Cod? I live in Ma and need a recommendation for a silver plater. I have a very old silver plated tea set that I inherited from an aunt many years ago and would like to have it re-plated. Too many years of polishing I suspect!! I am off Cape but can drive there easily. Love hearing about your polish cloths. Best of luck to you.

Hi Nicole,
As with any cleaning product it is advisable to have parental supervision while using our cloths. Also it's a good idea to use the enclosed nitrile gloves to keep the hands clean. You can also
use your own nitrile/latex gloves.

Hi Ruthie,
Are you sure the tea set needs replating? I've seen silver plate that's totally black and looks like the silver has come off but when I polished it it came right up.
We actually don't re-plate items here, but I can recommend a couple of businesses in the Boston area that do.

@Nicole I am crazy about the E-Cloths for stainless steel too. I grab that little gray cloth every night at home and do a couple quick swipes. Just a little water is needed.

Frequently we get asked about lacquered brass, so I thought I'd share a tip on this topic:
Lacquered brass needs only dusting and an occasional washing with luke warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry. If the lacquer becomes damaged and tarnish lines begin to show, or if the lacquer is turning dark, it can be removed with acetone or amyl acetate (banana oil). Coated objects can also be stripped with a solution of baking soda and boiling water (1 cup soda to 2 gallons boiling water). Let the article stand in the water until it cools and peel off the lacquer. Before any polish can work, the metal surface must be free of all lacquer.

my cleaning lady used an abrasive cleaner on my new stainless range hood causing ugly scratches, even circular ones. i tried many products to remove them, but nothing worked. was told by my contractor that nothing could be done. i tried the cape cod cloths and now i have the most beautiful, shiny, scrateh-free stainless hood. thanks for such a wonderful product

To keep your silver looking great year round we also offer the following suggestions:
* Foods such as eggs, olives, salad dressings, peas, vinegar, and fruit are harmful to silver and prolonged contact with them should be avoided.
* Do not store silver in felt and never wrap plated silver in newspaper.
* Empty silver salt dishes after each use or pitting will occur and cause damage.
From proper storage of sterling silver to removing old lacquer from a brass lamp-- I'm here all afternoon to answer any questions you might have about caring for your fine metals.
