Using these brushes, brush the polish with the same motion you’d use when brushing teeth.

They’re very soft so they won’t scratch the silver either. Wash and dry as usual.

You don’t have to get your hands dirty! (Though you can use gloves if you like, it’s more comfortable without).

Obviously any soft makeup brush would work, though these are inexpensive enough that you can designate a few for your silver…and not your face.

      I pour boiling hot water over the wax (ie: from urn or kettle… you can pour it into a cup first… ) It usually come right off.

    Love the idea! Ever try silver wipes? They work amazing! They aren’t perfect for little crevices, but they work amazing!! And are mess free.

    The best, quickest, and easiest way to polish silver is to line a large pan with aluminum foil, lay the silver pieces down on top, pour on boiling water and then sprinkle baking soda. The tarnish literally melts right off. No scrubbing!!! You just turn each silver piece in the water until the whole thing is polished. Then rinse with water and dry.
