Review on Horsehair Cleaning Heirloom Silverware Plateware by Donotello Figueroa

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perhaps too indulgent: metal polishes

I think this product is for a bygone era when silver owners had many servants who could patiently spend hours removing tarnish from barely tarnished bowls with fine filigree work. It worked (with my silver Hagerty) but very, very slowly. This would probably be best for very lightly tarnished items - to preserve that soft, historic candlelight look that makes silver so beautiful. Paintbrushes are a tedious and ineffective tool when you have dark patinas. A microfiber cloth with plaque remover works much better - much faster and nicer - but unfortunately it cleans to a cool, shiny, new look, not a pretty, golden one. seem to be.
