Blitz Silver Shine Polish Liquid Silver Polish for Sterling and Silverplate Jewelry, Dishes, Flatware, Fixtures, & Decor Non-Toxic, Non-Abrasive, & Planet Friendly Made in The USA 8oz Pack of 2

I found this product doing an online search for how to clean silver jewelry - I was very unhappy with the miserable, smelly dips that can damage both metal and skin. But I'd had so much trouble every time I ever used old-fashioned paste polish. There was an article link on Wiki that caught my eye, because I live in Indy, about cleaning a Georgian tea set for the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The curator preferred all natural, which again I'd never had any luck with, but said if you're fighting thick tarnish, the best product was made in Jeffersonville, Indiana, called Blitz. He really knew his stuff! Unlike other pastes it's remarkably quick in effectiveness, doesn't smell or hurt your skin, though he did recommend using disposable gloves, and I do. Just smooth it on, then gently massage for a moment with a clean cloth. When you rinse it off, the results are astonishing. I used it first on two pieces I'd given up for lost. One was a turquoise and silver bracelet my mother bought in the 1930s - they actually call it Depression jewelry. The other was a heavy, expensive silver pin in the shape of a panther head my brother had given me many Christmases ago. I keep all of my jewelry in protective bags, but the pin had gone missing for years, and I didn't realize until I got rid of the jewelry armoire that it had fallen into an odd space behind a drawer. It was just black with tarnish. A gentle rub with this stuff, and it looked better than new. I hope the photo shows how stunning it now is. As for the bracelet, it has lots of curlicues and furrows, like much Native American jewelry, but if you put this on a Q-tip and slide it through the trenches and over the stone settings, it works very well. You may not get it all, but the darker lines look great, so I didn't push it. I hate to say this, because you should always be careful to guard any stones from contact, but it was difficult to keep the polish completely off the large green stone while cleaning its surround, and this polish did no damage to it whatsoever. An absolute miracle. And the dip cleaner, so toxic I'm not even supposed to pour it down my sink, is out of my life forever. About the only down side I can think of is that, once you open the bottle, it does dry out pretty quickly. I'd say six months. However, the miserable dip goes bad much faster than that, developing some kind of crystals in it. I ordered some of the Blitz cloths, but haven't tried them yet. As for the bottles, I just ordered more, and I may try next time to store the closed bottle in a ziplock bag. But the price is great, especially contrasted with what I paid for the jewelry. All in all, I couldn't be happier.

This is the only jewelry cleaner that made my silver sparkle again, with minimum effort. I dropped my sterling flatware in the basket in the solution, left it in there for 10 seconds, then rinsed under running water. Voila, the pieces look new again. Highly recommend!

I have long been a baking powder/hot water/aluminum foil person for getting rid of tarnish on my silver pieces but let me tell you... this stuff not only removed the tarnish, but made my silver SO SHINY! Shinier than I've ever been able to achieve with just natural methods. I had a couple of pieces that already went through the baking soda/aluminum process, and they were just still looking sad and cloudy and I thought they were stained permanently. They were completely rejuvenated with this product, stains and all! Be forewarned, the application is a little on the messy side, so maybe make sure you're using it in a place that can be easily cleaned up - but the results are so worth it!

Very good and not that abrasive like other polish. It may take more to clean the tarnish but it doesn’t put a lot of distracting and noticeable scratch marks on items. The only drawback is it can take more than one cleaning, which is time consuming.

I bought this silver cleaner and it works great

Follow the directions and your silver will shine!

You're probably second-guessing yourself, wondering why you should spend this much for silver cleaner when you could use baking soda or some other home concoction. Here's the answer: I think I've tried every homemade silver polish and a great many commercial ones, and this is the best I've used in 25 years. It's a little more expensive than some, but I polished more than a dozen thrift store silver plate pieces, some of which were tarnished, blackened recent finds, and I still have a quarter of a bottle left. For most people, a single bottle would last years. This product made me ASHAMED of the condition of the silver plate pieces I already owned, and I thought they were in great shape, gleaming away in the cabinet. WRONG. Just for fun, I used the polish on one piece, then couldn't stop until I'd done them all because the ones I polished with Blitz were so much cleaner and brighter than the remainder. As for the new thrift store finds, they literally glow, and if the former owners could see them, they'd be kicking themselves, because this stuff is soo easy and quick to use.--you need very little effort. The only drawback was soiling dozens of cleaning rags with black marks that didn't entirely come out in the wash. Using paper towels might scratch the silver, which does not happen with Blitz and a rag. Blitz also didn't seem to thin the plating at all, unlike many others. You don't need to scrub, just gently swirl the polish with a soft rag so the chance of damage lessens. I used an old, soft toothbrush to work the polish into intricate design elements, and cotton balls easily buffed it out. Since it's a polish, it supposedly leaves a protective coating on the pieces, but I wash and dry any that touch food or drink, and I always wear gloves to protect my hands. It doesn't smell foul, though. I can't wait for the holiday season, so I can show off the silver plate!

Works really well in silver jewelry getting into difficult places. Excellent product. Easy to use.

At last I found a N. American product that enhances my precious Antique silver, without the fear of stripping!

I bought this product after reading on an English language forum that it was almost the best silver polish available in Japan. After a few gentle polishes, my pots went from black to shiny silver! It is the best. It is true that this is not the kind of polish that will remove all the blackness at the moment you touch it. But it was perfect for polishing my precious antique silverware. I would buy the same thing again when I run out.

I read reviews and excited to use this items, but results wasn't really good. It does clean the silver plate item little bit like 20% so I still need to look for something more stronger and effective.

Pure magic! Saw this product on a YouTube video and bought the two-pack. Does not smell like those other brands. Easy to use and great results. Use microfibre cloths from the dollar store instead of paper towels. The photo is of a vase from 1904 and it looks brand new. Now I am obsessed with polishing silver!

This cleaned my silver with a little elbow grease but I'd rather that than a super harsh chemical action or smell. There is an odour, but not offensive or strong. I haven't had it long enough to comment on how it inhibits tarnishing.
