I wish to oxidize a chain maille piece-will a jewelry tumbler remove the oxidation, or is it permanenet?

No oxidizing is ever permanent. It will rub off over time. Tumbling may remove most of it depending on the abrasive you use, or just leave it looking sort of dull gray. If you want to remove just some of the finish, I would tumble polish the piece first, then oxidize, rinse, then rub lightly with a scrubbie (sponge) or super fine sandpaper (600 grit or finer). Hope this helps.

I've used this opener for a while now, and no rust. The blade is stainless steel, and the handles are stainless steel as well. The rest is plated steel. Don't immerse it in the sink or the handles will end up with water inside them. DO NOT put it in the dishwasher! This will also fill the handles with water, and will shorten the life of the rubber handles inserts, and the opener twist knob rubber. Best way to clean it is to scrub the blade under running water, then just stand it upright in the dinnerware basket on the dish drained. This is how we treated our last OZONE opener, and it lasted FOREVER! This is a very good opener, and I highly recommend it. Take care of it, and it will last for years.

I would try MAAS. It removes stains and polishes without any damage. I have tried other suggested products and concoctions and this is the only one that I feel safe using on my precious metals. It is amazing!

Can't address the Moscow Mule Mugs issue. I do use it on copper cookware, and on a round solid copper mixing bowl. When the polish dries, it is easy to see to buff off. If you miss a spot, you notice and go back and buff it off. Doubt I've ingested much, but if so, I haven't died yet. I love the product because it is gentle on the copper, is not abrasive, has no offensive chemical smell, does not harm my tender skin (though I do wear rubber gloves while applying the polish, I remove them for the buffing portion of the chore). And, something they don't tell you: the copper polish is effective on stainless steel cookware as will. I like the Wright's silver polish as well. Can't address the Moscow Mule Mugs issue.

I have been using it for many years; but only on silver-sterling or silverplate with a sponge (one usually comes with). On stones use a good liquid that comes in a bottle-use the brush that comes with it to brush gently on the stones so as not to damage them. Rinse both jewelry and silver with warm water no soap so as not to rub off the polish. I love the results!I forgot to add---no polish on pearls!!!!! And try and use the silver polish with tarnish preventative--it lasts much longer.

Kristin, I don't believe these cloths can be cleaned. The oxidation that is left on the cloth is permanent. My jeweler advised me to use one jewelry cleaner for gold and one for silver. It would be better to if you kept the cloths separately too.

The chemical in the cleaner can harm certain non-gold pieces. You are safe if you just dip it in the solution and rinse it off immediately. In addition, the ultrasonic action can even possibly loosen stones of real jewelry and if stones are just glued in or not mounted well on the costume jewelry you can have a problem

Hi There, You can use this over & over. I've cleaned about 20+ items so far - earrings, chains, rings and it's still working great.

As soon you open the package the oxy-sorb star warming , and has to use as soon as possible. And keep the unused one in an tight container. I didn't used silica with it, the oxy- absorb eliminates all the oxygen, and nothing humid could be inside the bag. This is my opinion.

I have used it for some of my antique and vintage jewelry and it has come out nice it really is a good cleaner for so many things But if I have jewelry that is very important to me you can take it to wherever you bought it and they may clean it for free and if it is a intricate piece I think a jeweler is the best way to go. . I do keep several tubes and spray bottles around it seems to clean everything

I use a sonic jewelry cleaner. It's not too much of a hassle. U just throw it in and let the cleaner do its thing.

Sorry I can't say to this as I have only cleaned eyeglasses (which were amazingly clean and lots of dirty water afterwards), watches and jewelry. Ask your dentist if this would be a good idea as the materials might matter which product you use.

I have not had a problem with any jewelry I have put in the cleaner. It all comes out looking great!!!

I have used it on my fiberglass motorcycle fairing and it works great. That said, I do not think that it is designed to remove accumulated oxidation...probably best to use some other type of mild abrasive product first...

Jose-- The product is a wax, and it's for chrome faucets and plumbing fixtures. My suggestion would be that it might therefore only serve to gum up your items with bits of wax. I think you'd be happier with a jewel cleaner. I have no knowledge as to which jewel cleaner to chose. Tom
