No Dipping!

September 11, 2023 By colleen Leave a Comment

Just a word about polishing! Whether it’s brass or copper or silver, I never recommend “dipping” your metals. There are lots of recipes out there for cleaning your metals with dipping/soaking methods. When you soak your metals, you remove tarnish…and thats the problem. Hand-polishing leaves tarnish in the grooves of your metals and its that tarnish that accentuates the designs in your metals. Polish hits the high points leaving tarnish in the low points giving depth and beauty to the designs in your silver, brass & copper. It may take longer, but hand-polishing will shine your antiques while keeping their old look.
