How will this work on silver? Is it safe for silver, or could it damage silver?

There is a Wrights cream polish made just for silver that I would use instead. It works very well on silver as the copper one works on copper and brass.

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.

It works pretty well, and without it the silver would get really tarnished. You still have to polish silver once in a while to have it look its best. Have the butler do it--wait a minute, that's me!

Hello, I used it on my sterling silver childhood knife, fork and spoon - no problem. Hope it helps.

Okay Karen! Here's what the label says: 24 ppm patented Silver Solution (de-ionized water and silver), TEA (wonder what that stands for?) and Carbomer. It doesn't really tell us MUCH, but it sounds to me like it's probably safe...it sure does work for me!!! :-) Have a good day, 'k? Sincerely, Glenice Loux

That's a great question, but unfortunately, I don't know the answer because I've only used it on silver coins. Sorry.

I don't know if it is but can't really see how it could damage one. I've only used it to clean a solid gold ring and plastic/metal gaming miniatures.

Of course! Great question! Since this only removes the oxide layer on silver, it will not harm the gold to also go in the solution with the silver. Gold has amazing properties that make it very corrosion resistant

Good question. After researching for over 2 hours, I'm going to try this product for soldering silver plated rings Silver Bearing Wire Soldering Paste Welding Jewelry, 7.1 Gram wish me luck. xox

In my opinion, I do not believe it is strong enough to much remove tarnish off of silver. In using with an ultrasonic cleaning machine, I would also recommend checking with that company's ability to use a specific silver cleaning solution that is safe for the machine. This Hagerty product is meant to help clean off skin oils and other grime from waterproof watches, necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. It is kind of effective with brass or copper tarnish, but not fully as one would expect, so that's where in the future I'd go with specific chemical liquid cleaners safe for silver, etc. The fact is, I've even read that if one does not have ultrasonic cleaning solutions like Hagerty, then to simply use dishwashing liquid mixed in water...and that surely won't remove tarnish.

I have not used it on other metals (such as brass). Google Goddards and ask their customer service people. They are very helpful - and may have another product that is just what you need. Everything of theirs that I have used has been great. Their marble cleaner did a spectacular job, for example.

I have never tried soldering silver with it but mine gets hotter than any other torch I've had before. Just don't know anything about soldering silver.

It works on conductive metal surfaces, not non-conductive metal. In addition, when I used it on stainless steel, the coating on -appeared- to be complete. Under magnification the coating was spotty with much of the original metal surface still showing.

Yes. This unit works great. The only thing I would say is be careful with silver plated items. Do not leave them in for an extended period as the ultrasound works so well, it can begin to take off the silver plating. I wore out my first unit after many years of use and bought a this unit. It works wonderfully! It takes tarnish off of old silver jewelry in seconds. You can watch the process. It is amazing to watch. Well priced and just as described. I use mine all the time.

I doubt it, but in my experience, if you keep your silver wrapped up, it doesn't tarnish fast. The more you can protect your silver from the chemicals in the air, the less likely it is to tarnish. These work well for me.

Have never tried it on stainless steel, but it is great on silver and GOLD!!

Silver filled jewelry can be most any metal , this product will work best on copper , brass , bronze and steel ; so its important to know your material before attempting . Thorough cleaning and of course the liquid flux are very important , good luck.
