silver polish
Brightens dull flatware
Silver polish is a cleaning compound used to remove tarnish and restore shine to silver objects such as jewelry, flatware, and decorative items.
It typically contains mild abrasives or chemical agents that dissolve the dark sulfide layer that forms when silver reacts with airborne compounds.
Silver polish comes in various forms including creams, liquids, and treated cloths.
