ProtectaClear® is practically invisible and it will stop the tarnish and keep your silver looking freshly polished for years.
The usual tarnish on silver is the black sulfide. The cool thing about this is that you can instantly remove the tarnish from any silver item with commonly available household items.
This method of cleaning will work fast. It works quickly, no scratches, no muss, no fuss, and then all you do is rinse the item off. There is no adverse environmental impact, none of the ingredients are in any way toxic (they are food grade!), there is no abrasion or scratching of the silver and you can use your bare hands to remove the treated items from the solution. Just rinse and dry the silver when you are done, & pour the "used" solution down the drain! Re-use or recycle the aluminum foil.
You may want to polish the silver to a high shine with polish. MIDAS TOUCH Polishing Creamis excellent polish that is not acid-based. If you use an acid-based polish, then just wash it in baking soda water to neutralize the acid before coating.
***Tips: Do not wear rubber gloves when working with your silver as rubber is corrosive to silver.
Once you clean your silver, how do you protect it to prevent tarnishing again?
