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 it and it lasted for months. So worth it bc I have a lot of silver

This product is lack luster at best. I was excited when I discovered this product… we all need to spend less time cleaning and more time living. I followed the instructions perfectly. I experimented with silver and silver plated pieces of all shapes and sizes with varying degrees of tarnish. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate this product a one. Total waste of time and money. I already thought the product was pricy but now that I know it doesn’t work I can safely say it lacks value for the money. The process is inconvenient with having to put a bucket in the sink, keep all the pieces touching eachother or the sache, boil water then rinse with soap and water. I could have just polished my items by then. Product FAIL!

Good product. Silver items look shiny and new without much fuss.

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 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.

I read a number of reviews on this system and I see it was not successful for a number of people, but I think that’s because it wasn’t used properly. I’ve included a few pictures of the silver before it went into the bath and a short one minute video and what it did to the two silver trays I put in there. It’s very important that the water be boiling hot and that the pieces of silver need to be touching the foil portion of the cleaner packet. I wasn’t too successful the first day I used it, but I think it was because my silver was so very dirty. (As you can see from the champagne bucket, my water wasn’t deep enough and it left a very black tarnished area on the side.) So the second day, I lined my kitchen sink, which is porcelain, with a piece of heavy aluminum foil because that’s where the tarnish goes when the chemical reaction removes it from the silver. The short video shows how quickly it actually worked with the aluminum foil in the bottom of the sink, using the bath packet. And then you can see how dirty the aluminum foil came out as well. After using this, I did lightly polish all of the pieces using my regular silver polish, which took off a little bit of the haze that was left after the bath. That may have been a result of my silver being so horrendously tarnished. With as dirty as my silver was and as much of it that needed to be cleaned it saved me days of work.

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.
