TwinkleSilver Polish Kit

The media could not be loaded. This is a review of the Twinkle Silver Polish Kit.Twinkle silver polish is something I remember from childhood. My Mother used it to clean her sterling silver flatware, bowls and other pieces she had. Twinkle has been around for a long time. I continue to use it because it is one of the minimally abrasive cleaners available. It's best practice to use the least abrasive cleaning methods when cleaning Sterling and Silver plate. Particularly with Silver Plate, the actual layer of silver is so thin that abrasive cleaners can actually remove the silver leaving you with the base metal showing through. Not good.The "kit" that you get is nothing more than a container of Twinkle and a circular foam applicator pad. You damped the pad with water, dip it into the soft Twinkle paste and rub your silver pieces with it. Almost instantly the pad will turn black with removed tarnish. Consequently you want to fold the pad over to get a clean area and continue cleaning the silver. You will have to frequently rinse the pad in clear water and reapply a small amount of Twinkle to it and continue cleaning the silver until all traces of tarnish are gone. You will notice that the tarnished silver will initially have a yellowish tint to it but eventually it will have more of a white appearance as the tarnish is removed. Ultimately you end up with a gleaming piece of silver as it was meant to look.Twinkle leaves a protective layer on the silver that slows down future tarnishing. High humidity areas will accelerate the accumulation of tarnish so it is really helpful in those environments.An even less abrasive silver cleaner that I use is Blitz Silver Polish, Blitz 20633 2-Pack Silver Shine Liquid Polish.In addition to the foam pad included with the Twinkle, I also use cotton balls and/or cotton rounds or oval pads and cotton tipped sticks. These are inexpensive and not abrasive. It's easier to get into areas of detail than just using the foam pad.

I am very impressed with how well this worked on my old silver plated flatware. Polishing was fast and easy with little to no smell. The pictures show some before and after, but unfortunately I had already polished the most tarnished pieces. It’s hard to get good after photos because the surfaces shine like mirrors.I read that Twinkle is less abrasive than other brands and I worried I’d have to spend more time polishing, but it actually works better than two other silver polishes I recently tried. Now I have no excuse not to keep my silver polished.

This silver cleaner/polisher works quickly and fantastically well, even on extremely tarnished items.

I've always love this product could not find it so, I decided to try Amazon, kept strolling down and strolling down until I said bam there it is I was so excited to see it. Ordered it immediately, and it still work the same GREAT! This product gives a lovely shine to silver and gold, but I usually use it for silver.

I found this product easy to use and worked well for me

I love the way the Twinkle Silver Polish turned my dark silver into beautiful and shiny silver! It was very easy to use with little effort.

I purchased a beautiful silver tray at a thrift shop but it was badly tarnished. I tried a couple of stores and couldn’t find silver polish. I should have just looked on Amazon because I found Twinkle. That’s the brand my mother used on both her silver and her copper bottomed pans so I knew the brand was good. It took a bit of elbow grease but the tray looks almost brand new. It’s a lot of polish so I can keep looking for more silver things knowing I can make them look new again. It’s a necessity if you’re a thrift shopper and like fixing up old items. It also cleans silver jewelry.

I didn't realize the dandruff shampoo I used was tarnishing my silver necklace. When I did notice the once silver, now black necklace that I never take off, even in the shower, I tried everything to make it shine again. I even boiled water and baking soda and pouring it over the necklace sitting on tin foil. A little of the tarnish came off, but not all of it. Jewelry cleaner didn't work and neither did toothpaste and scrubbing the necklace with a toothbrush. Then I decided to try silver polish. It worked. My necklace looks like new again and it worked the very first time. At least now when I forget to take off my necklace before shampooing with the anti-dandruff shampoo in the shower, I can return my silver necklace to its pristine state.
