Hi there, Can you tell me if this will clean my table silverware (silver knives, forks ..etc) Also, does it need special cleaning fluid?

It probably can. I use it with water and detergent. I've had to replace the front control panel twice, however the company sent the new control panels at no cost. Not the best quality machine, but cheap.

yes. I would not do but a couple at a time. it does not take long just a few minutes per run. you can use plain water or a mild cleaning solution with them.

Tarnish on silver is a special case. Tarnish removal requires chemicals that react with the tarnish. I have never tried removing tarnish from silver with an ultrasonic cleaner but I don't expect it would work, for that reason. For most general cleaning, a special cleaning fluid is not required. Water alone or water plus a little detergent. Many people do buy ultrasonic cleaning solutions to add to that water instead of detergent, but I haven't found it necessary.

A better method of cleaning tarnished silver, involves dissolving baking soda in hot boiling water, then immersing a sheet of aluminium foil into the heated mixture and then dipping tarnished silverware into solution making sure it makes contact with the foil. Tarnish should vanish immediately. No ultrasonic cleaner necessary. No buffing or abrasives needed. Just set it and forget it. Its that easy! LOL

For my SS pans, I shake some baking soda onto the wet pan bottom. Put some soap on the wet dishcloth. Rub it out. Easy. Great technique for cleaning scum off outside of pans, glass casserole dishes, stainless sinks , plastic dishpans, and much more. Keep a shaker of baking soda near the sink!

I have only used it on silverplate and sterling-nothing as big as a stainless dishwasher!

It's from the new and improved non phosphate detergent we all have to use now. My pots and pans blued and the flatware started to have rust spots on the knife blades. Also a white film started to cover the dishwasher interior and my black nylon cooking utensils. You can use Bar Keepers on them. I'd use the liquid. Or do as I do now. I sprinkle a small amount of Citric Acid into the detergent containers on my dishwasher. I bought it on Amazon. I also changed detergent to biokleen. No more bluing, no more rust spots, and no more white film. My stainless steel pans shine again.

Yes dishwasher is no problem you can clean like any other utensil. Actually it is very strong and light. I keep this in my travel bag so I always have a fork/spoon and just clean it in the sink at hotels. It has a nice combination of smooth spoon area and matte finish handle makes it easy to clean and hold.

I would think it should clean any silver surfiest. I would recommend this product to anyone.Jimmy Ricketts

I suggest removing as much as you can with a razor blade and then soaking in dishwashing soap and hot water. My review mentions I used a citrus based cleaner which is also effective. WD-40 works great on these sorts of things but I didn't want to use because I felt the post WD-40 cleanup and possible toxins were too much to deal with. I don't recommend aggressive heating or really aggressive scrubbing with anything like a wire brush as there is a remote possibility of igniting the magnesium.

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

Sorry, I pressed the wrong button. I just tested it and used on my SS spoon and it did not make much difference, not shiner at all. Personally, I would not use it on my flatware even I wash it afterwards. Why put some unknown chemicals on the utensils we put in our mouths.

I used this on some silver spoons. It did not make the surface slick at all.

I have only used it for silverware but I really don't know why it wouldn't work well that way. The most important thing is NEVER to wash it.

Elbow grease...lol...the silica is what removes the minor scratches by its abrasive/polishing action, what removes stains is in question??? Detergents what ever ones those be, maybe the same thing that is in Techron...anyway, I am a quantum mechanic not an organic chemist but highly recommend wearing gloves and not breathing too many fumes. The Le Creuset pan cleaner works pretty well too for cleaning the Kohler sinks, maybe both products come from the same fountain....

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

Do your knives get gun powder on them? I'm sure you could use it for that. But it's not the best choice. It all depends on WHAT gets on them , as to how you clean them off. My knives can mostly be cleaned with a wet, then a dry cloth and then I wipe them with a coat of Remington Oil w/ Teflon. Works great. I don't put the coat of oil on until I re-sharpen. And then lightly wipe it down.

I purchased this item but have not used it as of yet. Try it , it is supposed to be top of the line silver cleaner.

I don't think it does if it is cared for properly. I don't use metal utensils. Start it on low heat with either olive oil, vegetable oil or butter - no sprays. And make sure the pan cools completely before you wash it with a sponge and a little soap. No soft-scrub or harsh cleaners. I just used mine for eggs and they just slid out of the pan. Hopes this helps.
