Cleaning silver articles and small silver idols

hi all,

My mother used to clean the silver vessels with vibudhi only. take one teaspoonof vidudhi in one square pure white muslin cloth and wipe it everywhere.it works well. i came to know from some magazine that we can use boiled potato water for whitening silver vessels. i tried and seems good. using toothpaste is a new one to me. will try also.

 

Hi,

It's not nice to boil idols.
Keep a new brush aside only to clean idols.
First wash the idols with water. When it's wet, apply colgate tooth powder and rub well with the brush. Leave it for 15 minutes & wash under running water. It will shine like new

Cheers

 

White tooth paste is good to clelan silver vessels

Hi,

Pls keep a new tooth brush specifically for cleaning idols only & not old or used one!

Cheers

 

Infact it gets cleaned in seconds....no need to leave it for 15 min also!!
And don't forget to say prayers & chant the name of God while cleaning them. Imagine you are giving bath to your baby do it with love!

 

hi,

I do use sabena powder for cleaning the silver items and scrub with a tooth brush. but i find that scratches appear because of using sabena. Tooth paste is good.

u can try Ruperi liquid of Pitambari...
Its gives nice shine immediately...

use plain white cloth for that...

 

hi,
i too agree with brinda...use roopali with a cloth or tissue..it gives shine in a minute & looks brand new without any scratches..
