You can clean tarnished silver suc- | cessfully by using the old-fashioned pink plate powder mixed to a paste with either water or methylated spirits. Rub the paste well on to the articles and | leave it on about 2 hours till thoroughly dry. Then rub off, and if necessary put | on another lot, Finally wash in hot soapy | water containing a dash of household ammonia and polish with a soft cloth. | This advice was followed by a bride | whose silver teapot, a wedding present,’ had become badly tarnished. She wrote | to thank me for this advice which had | restored her silver after three | tions, When storing silver be careful not. to use rubber bands, as these cause tarnish. Sprinkling with powdered starch | helps to keep off tarnish, and a lump of | camphor in the box is also a good idea.
