Best Silver Polish (original) (raw)

I've seen the results of abuse over time from polishes that heavily scratched silver, and silver-plated objects that have been abraded right down to the base metal. And dips that not only remove tarnish but also dissolve silver, remove factory-applied patina, and expose you and your family to dangerous chemicals! How do you know what product won't harm your prized pieces? It's time to put your trust in me, Jeff Herman. I've been a professional silver restorer and conservator since 1984 and recognized internationally for my silver care methodology. I've taken the guesswork out of product choice by developing a silver polish that's safe for your silver AND your family.

Herman's was efficient yet gentle enough when removing heavy tarnish from this 22" x 16" plated gallery tray without exposing any of the base metal. Cleaning and polishing the right side took only 10 minutes.

The tarnish on this 1809 London vermeil mustard pot was gently removed, leaving the remaining gilding intact. Harsher polishes would have removed the gilding.

These hallmarks were stamped on a 1760 Hester Bateman coffeepot. Notice how they have been worn down and are difficult to read because of the use of extremely abrasive polishes. If this pot continues to be poorly cared for the marks may become illegible, reducing the object's value.

These telescoping candlesticks required only 15 minutes to polish with Herman's.

This berry spoon now gleams after polishing with Herman's! Though it's mild, it has clout!

Harsher polishes would have damaged this Underhill & Vernon tankard reducing its value.
