Default Re: Washing Silver pooja items.

I used to clean my silver vessels like this.
I put all the silver items in a big vessel then pour very hot water on it upto top level and add some washing power. Keep it till it cool and afte r that rub it throughly with the sponge and wash like all other vessel cleaning method. It does works out well .

Hi,

I clean my silver items with colgate tooth powder. I also keep a seperate tooth brush to clean some intricate parts in idols.

Thumbs down Re: Washing Silver pooja items.

Hi,

Usually I wash the silver items with a no scratch scrubber and diluted dish liquid.

After that, I wipe it well with a white cotton cloth. Then with the same damp cloth..I smear and apply dry vibuthi ( holy ash) on the silver articles..this makes it shiny and sparkle..good as new.

Cheers
Krithika

I recently found out a very easy was of getting rid of the blackness on silver items.i take a paper towel and put a little 'vibuthi' on it and rub it on the silver.it removes all the blackness with little rubbing.

hi all,

i too apply only vibuthi after i wash with the normal dish waSHING soap and with a good scrubber. it makes the silver items sparkle. also constant use of it say once in a week lessens our strain of clearing the stain. once if the stain accumulates there rises the problem. try it...
