Scientific Way to Clean Silver.
A jeweler recommends the follow
ing method of cleaning furnished sill
YER, because it is simple and quick,
and does not injure the silverware:
Pour Il quart of hot water into an
enameled pan and add a teaspoonful
of bicarbonate of soda, a tablespoon
full of salt and piece of zinc. In this
bath place the article to be cleansed,
and make sure that it touches the
zinc; the discoloratiop will disappear
as if by magic.
Contact between the silver and the
zinc in the salt and soda solution
creates an electric current. That re-
leases hydrogen from the solution.
which appears in tiny bubbles on the
surface of the silver. The hydrogen
combines with the sulphur in the
sulphid to which the discoloration on
the silver is due; and, therefore,
causes the dscoloration to vanish at
once, although the silver itself re-
mains untouched. Oxidized silver can
not safely be cleaned in this manner,
for the oxidization will be removed
the same as ordinary discoloration.
Gold-lined articles should not be
cleaned in this solution.
After using this method of cleaning
silver rinse the Zino in claar water
