Metal Polishing
Stainless Steel: Baking Soda to clean. Club soda for polishing. White
vinegar for removing rust & water spots. Stains with 1 part hydrogen peroxide
+ 3 parts baking soda.
Brass: Lemon Juice + Salt (not plated)
Gold & Silver: Non-gel toothpaste
-don’t let air dry, wear cotton gloves. Store silver in non-plastic, no rubber
bands, in acid-free material.
Any abrasives form very fine scratches. If you want better
preservation, jewlers say to use a polishing cloth although it's
labor intensive.
Copper: Ketchup or non-gel toothpaste
Chrome: Rub w/ aluminum foil
