Cleaning Silver Cutlery

[gl556tr]

__Hello,_-_I once had a lass (…) who used a simple kitchen trick to polish up the silver cutlery I have. The lass is long gone - as is the means of keeping the silver shiny. Is there somebody please who can tell me what need be done? I vaguely recall that silver-foil was involved - I think. Any offers gratefully accepted! Thanks.

Mmmmm, wouldn't mind, Elina. Some of those maids can be a bit errrr racey !

[Elina]

Ruby?

[corylus]

Ruby !!!!!!

[Tilly2]

No, not Ruby, Wose.

The easiest and laziest way to clean silvery cutlery is to leave it to soak in Goddard's Silver Dip.

[Elina]

LOL Tilly! Thought it was her then! Poor Ruby hung herself.

[corylus]

Do you know, I'm just glad I got shut of my silver cutlery.

[tonyav]

Definitely not Ruby, she would have grassed me up to the cook !.

[Elina]

Mrs Bridges then.

Did you fancy Mrs Bridges then Tonyav?

[tonyav]

Mmmmm, her ladyship wasn't to shabby !.

Boiling water in a deep wide pyrex bowl which has been lined with silver foil. Add a couple of dessert spoons of sode crystalls. Add the silver plate ( not sure about pure silver). Watch it fizz and remove after a couple of minutes. Magic. No good for stainless steel.

[corylus]

So you were familiar with 'Upstairs' then.

[tonyav]

Certainly was, corylus. Prefered downstairs though !.

[ethandron]

Silver dip...or bin the silver cutlery and get stainless steel.

'Ope Mr 'Usdon wasn't aware of this.
