Products made of precious metals are always sophisticated and beautiful. Jewelry, dishes, cutlery made of silver and cupronickel are valuable not only because of their high cost. These metals are also safe from the point of view of medicine - their antimicrobial properties have long been known and are actively used by humans.
Items made of silver and cupronickel can fade, blacken and turn green, so they need to be cleaned periodically. A regular soap solution may not cope with pollution and will not return the original shine to objects - other compositions are required here.
Fermented milk products are suitable for this purpose. You can clean silver and cupronickel - kefir, fermented baked milk, sour milk. You can even use yogurt to clean these metals. The beneficial substances that are part of fermented milk products can easily cope with pollution.
Darkened items can quickly return to their original shine if you dip them in a potato broth. The procedure takes 10 minutes, after which the silver or cupronickel must be wiped with a dry cloth.
The broth of garlic husk also works well. In order to return the shine and purity to jewelry or tableware, you need to boil them in this broth until the pollution has left. The more concentrated the broth, the better and faster the objects will be cleaned.
Greens from silver products are well removed using hot vinegar.
You can clean silver and cupronickel with powder substances. For example, crushed chalk or tooth powder. To do this, they are slightly diluted with water, rub the product with the resulting mass and allow it to dry. Then it remains only to wipe it with a soft cloth and polish the item.
Ornate, intricate products, with many cells and bulges, can be very difficult to clean. Ammonia will come to the rescue here. The product just needs to be lowered into it. Any pollution will disappear at that moment. After that, the item should be washed well in cold water and wipe it dry.
Another good composition for cleaning silver and cupronickel is chalk or tooth powder in the composition with ammonia. This liquid slurry is applied to the item after preliminary washing with warm water. After the composition has dried, it is washed with a dry cloth.
Tableware made of silver and cupronickel will always be brilliant if you periodically lower them in boiling water with a small amount of soda. Regular washing in water with ammonia also has a good effect. The last few drops are enough.
Cope with pollution and baking soda. Porridge from it well destroys spots of any nature.
Silver darkens and turns green from contact with air, therefore, in order to preserve it as much as possible and maintain pristine purity, it is necessary to store it correctly. Silver and cupronickel gizmos need to be kept in special bags. In extreme cases, you can simply wrap them in paper or foil.
