Stains from Silver
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have just read the query of "2," Epsom, in The Listener, and as I had a similar problem a short while ago, I am pleased to pass the successful remédy on to her. My silver worry was a heavy locket chain which badly soiled every frock worn with it. In desperation I purchased a bottle of clear nail varnish and painted a thin even coating on to the side coming in contact with the fabtic. The result is 100 per cent, even after about two months’ regular wear. This has also been successful with other pieces of silver jewellery. I polished my piéces well, then scrubbed with a soft nail brush in very hot soapy water, tinsing and drying perfectly before applying the varnish. Take care to cover évery part of the silver, both back and edges, so that only the face of the article is left to polish’as required in the usual way. The nail varnish also has the advantage over ordinary lacquers of not becoming yellowed with heat from the body. It works on gold. tao.
