FAQs

How do I know if my item is solid silver or silver-plated?

Solid silver items are often marked with hallmarks like '925', 'Sterling', or '999'. Silver-plated items usually lack these marks or may be marked 'EPNS' (Electro-Plated Nickel Silver) or 'Silver Plated'. If in doubt, consult a professional jeweler.

Can I use this cloth on gold or other metals?

This cloth is specifically formulated for silver. While it might offer some polishing effect on other metals, it is not optimized for them and could potentially cause unwanted reactions or damage. It is best used solely on silver.

How often should I use the polishing cloth?

Use the cloth as needed, whenever your silver items appear to be tarnishing or losing their shine. The anti-tarnish agents help to prolong the time between polishes.

What are the available sizes for the cloth?

The Antiquax Silver Polishing Cloth is available in two sizes: 450mm x 300mm and 440mm x 315mm.

Will this cloth remove deep scratches?

No, this polishing cloth is designed to remove tarnish and restore shine. It will not remove deep scratches from the silver's surface.

Can I wash the cloth?

No, the cloth should never be washed with water or detergents, as this will remove the special anti-tarnish agents and make it ineffective for its intended purpose.

Troubleshooting

Cloth is not removing tarnish effectively.

Ensure the item is solid silver and not plated. Rub with slightly more pressure, or try folding the cloth to expose a fresh, more saturated section. Store the cloth properly to prevent drying out.

Silver appears dull after polishing.

This can happen if the cloth is worn out. Try a new section of the cloth or a fresh cloth. Ensure you are not using the cloth on items with protective coatings or lacquers.

Cloth feels dry or stiff.

The cloth may have lost its impregnated agents due to improper storage or washing. While it can still be used as a regular polishing cloth, its anti-tarnish properties will be diminished. Store in a sealed bag for future use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively removes tarnish with minimal rubbing.
  • Contains anti-tarnish agents for lasting protection.
  • Suitable for a wide array of silver objects.
  • Available in practical, larger sizes.
  • Gentle on silver surfaces, preventing scratches.

Cons

  • Not suitable for silver-plated items.
  • Can wear out over extended use.
  • May leave residue if over-applied to intricate designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Antiquax Silver Polishing Cloth requires no setup. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply unroll or unfold the cloth.

Compatibility: This cloth is specifically designed for use on solid silver items. It is not recommended for use on silver-plated items, as the polishing action and agents could potentially remove the plating or damage protective lacquers.

Care: To maintain the cloth's effectiveness, do not wash it with water or detergents. Washing will remove the impregnating agents and render it ineffective. Store the cloth in a dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a sealed bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve its properties.
