Quickshine Silver Clean And Shine Bath

This is a very interesting product with a lot of plus’s and few minus’s. First, trying to understand how it works (beyond the directions) is interesting. The manufacturer makes it pretty simple to follow. Why one piece of silver must touch the bag is curious. And then extra pieces you put into the sink or tub must touch some other piece of silver that is connected to the first piece touching the bag. What’s inside the bag? What is the chemical reaction that is occurring? Boiling water is a must. Now, this product is very helpful in lieu of breaking out a jar of silver polish that will save you a lot of time and mess.. If you have real silver, it works. Silver plated, or something less than pure silver will get a result, but maybe what you are not looking for based on the picture on the box. I had one piece that after a couple of dips turned out perfectly. In some cases I used 2 pads in one treatment but that’s when I learned that it polishes- it not the product to correct 10/20 years of neglect (not polishing the silver pieces regularly). If you have nice real silver that you don’t want to go through the paste and polishing process, this product works extremely well. If you have a high amount of tarnish, I would suggest TARN -X first, then use this product so it can work to its potential. I have ordered a lot of box’s of this product. I think there is 4/5 pods/packets per box. Pro Tips 1. The packets float so you can’t exchange pieces of silver( the main piece touching the pod/packet). Otherwise you will need to tongs to reposition the packet underneath another/new piece. 2. You will instantly know if you are dealing with real silver vs something else. If it takes more than a minute or so to have a great look, you do not have real silver. 3. Use tarn-x first if what you think is silver but is badly tarnished. This product polishes, it’s really not rigged to remove abuse or time. 4. Be sure to have a nice quality plastic tub that can fit inside your whole sink. You will need a tub that can withstand boiling water for several uses. Also, be sure to have enough pots to boil enough water to cover all the pieces. I used 3 pots for a typical treatment. 5. In my case, especially with the pieces I have neglected, you might want to have silver polish on hand for your favorite silver to complete the job. The ornate piece in the photo is real silver. It was brown and highly tarnished but after a minute of dipping, it turned out beautifully. Imagine trying to polish that thing with paste. The remaining photos have all been treated so the point is to show how it differs between neglect, part silver or real silver. Product ideas/requests. 1. It doesn’t want to float. 2. Wider/longer pads. 3. Powder form instead of pad form. 4. Something that can work for an hour instead of 5-15 minutes. Bottom line, for price/value- this product works.

I used this to restore my very fine, delicate, silver jewelry, that is, with surfaces, beads and parts that are too tiny to be polished successfully with creams, treated cloths, etc. The product does work, but not as well as I had hoped on heavily tarnished items, two or more treatments is required to make those wearable again. I followed the directions, any from my experiences, I have the following tips to offer: 1. Put a fine strainer over the sink drain, just in case; 2. The sachet floats up when the boiling water is poured, so have a couple heavy sterling spoons handy to push it back down, and move any displaced items back in contact with it; 3. Have two plastic dishpans ready - one with hot soapy water for washing items after treatment, one with plain hot rinse water; 4. Have a fine strainer ready for final draining and a clean, dry towel to place rinsed items on; and 5. I left the jewelry in the solution for 10 minutes, not 5 as in the directions, and got better results; it is a chemical reaction and one can see the bubbling action and the tarnish forming a gray scum on top of the solution. After about 10 minutes, most of the action is done, so I removed the items so that the tarnish would not redeposit. Because it is a chemical reaction, it's really important not to introduce any other metals to the solution, even stainless steel. It is safe for glass beads and relatively inert or siliceous gems or mineral beads like all forms of quartz, garnet, etc. As a geologist, though, I wouldn't recommend risking it with soft minerals, or less inert ones, like pearl, coral, opal or turquoise, malachite. Or you could remove one bead from the back and test it in your next batch, if you don't know what it's made out of. I hope these tips help! I think this type of product ("silver dip") is really the only way to make heavily tarnished silver items presentable again, and this is the best I've tried, probably partly because of the heat added by the boiling water. I recommend it and am looking forward to trying in on my sterling utensils.

Dont waste your money or time on this - does not work at all. After following directions exactly, little to no dirt/tarnish lifted and I ended up hand polishing with Wright's silver cream after all.

This absolutely saved me from hours of polishing and flaring up my carpal tunnel! Followed EXACTLY as directly and it worked amazingly well. It did, however, take longer than 5 minutes, but WELL worth the wait. I let it soak for at least a half hour to an hour. The pitchers were heavily tarnished as they have been sitting out and not polished in at least 20+ years. I turned the pitchers over after soaking for 15-20 min to see if it was working. Those are the pics I took, because I was so shocked. I’m only sorry I didn’t take pics of everything before I added the boiling water. Let your silver soak and let the hot water & the sachet work. You will be pleasantly surprised. I started with one sachet in my plastic bin, then added a second one since I had quite a few pieces. It’s important the silver touches the sachet, as that really activates it. If you see bubbles coming from the sachet, you know it’s working. And anything nearest to the bubbles was cleaned fastest. Which is why I decided to add another sachet in a different area. I used a little bit of silver polish/tarnish preventer to buff & shine on the pitchers and only a couple pieces of silverware. Didn’t have to scrub or barely even rub. Literally applied polish and wiped off like drying a dish. Will definitely use again for all my other silver!

So I had high hopes for this product... I read several reviews prior to purchasing and was convinced it would do the job, so I bought it. The silver I was trying to polish had been stored in a garage for over ten years and was heavily tarnished. I did not want to spend hours polishing it the old fashioned way (by hand with paste) so that’s why I purchased this product. It did remove a lot of the heavy tarnish, but not to the point where it could be used without further intervention. SO I used a second packet with not as dramatic results. Net/net: I think it did save me hours of heavy scrubbing by hand, but it didn’t remove everything. I posted before and after photos as well as a video of the bath itself.

I used to use silver polish paste and the results were ok. I wanted to go a bit farther as see if the silverware (mostly a few items from various relatives over time, nothing quite so wonderful as a "set", so a wide variety) to see if the silverware would actually get shinny. It does! This process is great! It took the silverware to a luster I had hoped for. Note well, follow the instructions. Use boiling water - I did. It needs the energy of the heat for the electrical process. Weird I know! Also, I tried to cheat the instructions and put in the dinner knives (wide blade, not steak knives). I rather thought the handles had some sort of blade-to-handle filler/glue of old style. Seems they do. One knife handle separated about 3-4 mm - way too much. Another handle wiggles slightly and will need support. All the others had a bit of darkening (able to clean manually) from the chemical reaction of the filler/glue. It is at that very tight fitting joint that the cleaning liquid seeps in and reacts. It was in the instructions to NOT use silverware with attached handles. I did and it really is a bother. So, follow the instructions. Next time I will take a tall glass, put the sachet at the bottom, put knives in handle down and add boiling water to just below the line. After a few minutes I will turn upside down and add boiling water to the blade up to just below the line. Easy. Smart. Just follow the excellent instructions and you will have glistening everything! Just no items with added handles, decorations, and I'm not going to use it on any baby spoons with enamel. Thanks for a great product!

Great product, works great on smaller items.

I had high hopes for this silver cleaning technique as I have 30 vintage/antique silver spoons with many intricate designs and crevices which are hard to clean, plus time consuming. I found this did not work very well at all. I followed the directions exactly. There were maybe 4 spoons that it worked on. I ended up using silver paste on all the others. I was very dissappointed. I have some other silver pieces that I might try it on before I say this is total junk.

Wir haben super verschnörkeltes , altes Silberbesteck bekommen und ich wüsste nicht, wie man das hätte polieren können, daher der Kauf des Bades. Da die erste Anwenung das Besteck noch nicht in allen Ecken gereinigt hat, haben wir den Durchlauf wiederholt und teils auch länger einwirken lassen, was letztlich alle Verfärbungen beseitigt hat. Schäden konnte ich nicht feststellen, trotz der längeren Einwirkzeit. Gründlich abgespült danach und noch einmal mit einem stinknormalen Geschirrtuch trockenpoliert und alles glänzt einnwandfrei!

facile da utilizzare

C’est un produit génial en qq minutes l’argent a retrouvé son éclat

excellent product

Fantastic! So easy to use and very fast results. Will be using this product from now on and silver will be cleaned more often.
