tarnish remover

Silver cleaning solution

Tarnish remover is a chemical product that restores shine to metal surfaces by dissolving or lifting the oxidation that dulls them.

Most commonly used on silver, it works through mild acids or abrasives: I soaked the candlesticks in tarnish remover overnight.

Some formulations work on brass, copper, or other metals prone to discoloration.
