Silver Clean And Shine Bath

This is a very interesting product with a lot of plus’s and few minus’s.First, trying to understand how it works (beyond the directions) is interesting. The manufacturer makes it pretty simple to follow. Why one piece of silver must touch the bag is curious. And then extra pieces you put into the sink or tub must touch some other piece of silver that is connected to the first piece touching the bag.What’s inside the bag? What is the chemical reaction that is occurring?Boiling water is a must.Now, this product is very helpful in lieu of breaking out a jar of silver polish that will save you a lot of time and mess.. If you have real silver, it works. Silver plated, or something less than pure silver will get a result, but maybe what you are not looking for based on the picture on the box.I had one piece that after a couple of dips turned out perfectly.In some cases I used 2 pads in one treatment but that’s when I learned that it polishes- it not the product to correct 10/20 years of neglect (not polishing the silver pieces regularly).If you have nice real silver that you don’t want to go through the paste and polishing process, this product works extremely well.If you have a high amount of tarnish, I would suggest TARN -X first, then use this product so it can work to its potential.I have ordered a lot of box’s of this product. I think there is 4/5 pods/packets per box.Pro Tips1. The packets float so you can’t exchange pieces of silver( the main piece touching the pod/packet). Otherwise you will need to tongs to reposition the packet underneath another/new piece.2. You will instantly know if you are dealing with real silver vs something else. If it takes more than a minute or so to have a great look, you do not have real silver.3. Use tarn-x first if what you think is silver but is badly tarnished. This product polishes, it’s really not rigged to remove abuse or time.4. Be sure to have a nice quality plastic tub that can fit inside your whole sink. You will need a tub that can withstand boiling water for several uses. Also, be sure to have enough pots to boil enough water to cover all the pieces. I used 3 pots for a typical treatment.5. In my case, especially with the pieces I have neglected, you might want to have silver polish on hand for your favorite silver to complete the job.The ornate piece in the photo is real silver. It was brown and highly tarnished but after a minute of dipping, it turned out beautifully. Imagine trying to polish that thing with paste. The remaining photos have all been treated so the point is to show how it differs between neglect, part silver or real silver.Product ideas/requests.1. It doesn’t want to float.2. Wider/longer pads.3. Powder form instead of pad form.4. Something that can work for an hour instead of 5-15 minutes.Bottom line, for price/value- this product works.

I have had this for some time but could not review it until I used it. It is an excellent product. I used it for cleaning a large pitcher which was more difficult than tableware. It would be very easy to clean all your silverware used for eating with this.

Total waste of money, the product barely worked. I tried this on a very tarnished bowl. It worked a little, but not much. I tried it a second then third time and, again, it worked a little but not much. I was going to give up on it then found some Wright's under the sink I'd forgotten about. Wright's worked immediately and brought about a gorgeous, clear, silvery glow. Use Wright's and just be done with it.

Quickshine did not work as expected certainly not in in 5 minutes which is fine though, but what i was not satisfied with is the shine and single packet does not work for 5-10 utensils. Overall average product.

This absolutely saved me from hours of polishing and flaring up my carpal tunnel! Followed EXACTLY as directly and it worked amazingly well. It did, however, take longer than 5 minutes, but WELL worth the wait. I let it soak for at least a half hour to an hour. The pitchers were heavily tarnished as they have been sitting out and not polished in at least 20+ years. I turned the pitchers over after soaking for 15-20 min to see if it was working. Those are the pics I took, because I was so shocked. I’m only sorry I didn’t take pics of everything before I added the boiling water.Let your silver soak and let the hot water & the sachet work. You will be pleasantly surprised. I started with one sachet in my plastic bin, then added a second one since I had quite a few pieces. It’s important the silver touches the sachet, as that really activates it. If you see bubbles coming from the sachet, you know it’s working. And anything nearest to the bubbles was cleaned fastest. Which is why I decided to add another sachet in a different area. I used a little bit of silver polish/tarnish preventer to buff & shine on the pitchers and only a couple pieces of silverware. Didn’t have to scrub or barely even rub. Literally applied polish and wiped off like drying a dish. Will definitely use again for all my other silver!

I used to use silver polish paste and the results were ok. I wanted to go a bit farther as see if the silverware (mostly a few items from various relatives over time, nothing quite so wonderful as a "set", so a wide variety) to see if the silverware would actually get shinny. It does! This process is great! It took the silverware to a luster I had hoped for. Note well, follow the instructions. Use boiling water - I did. It needs the energy of the heat for the electrical process. Weird I know! Also, I tried to cheat the instructions and put in the dinner knives (wide blade, not steak knives). I rather thought the handles had some sort of blade-to-handle filler/glue of old style. Seems they do. One knife handle separated about 3-4 mm - way too much. Another handle wiggles slightly and will need support. All the others had a bit of darkening (able to clean manually) from the chemical reaction of the filler/glue. It is at that very tight fitting joint that the cleaning liquid seeps in and reacts. It was in the instructions to NOT use silverware with attached handles. I did and it really is a bother. So, follow the instructions. Next time I will take a tall glass, put the sachet at the bottom, put knives in handle down and add boiling water to just below the line. After a few minutes I will turn upside down and add boiling water to the blade up to just below the line. Easy. Smart. Just follow the excellent instructions and you will have glistening everything! Just no items with added handles, decorations, and I'm not going to use it on any baby spoons with enamel. Thanks for a great product!

But did not work.
