Frequently Asked Questions: AMC Silver Polishing Mitt with Tarnish Retardant
What is silver polishing mitt used for?
The impregnated polishing mitt cleans and restores shine to silver plate and sterling silver without the need for messy pastes or liquids. It contains micro-abrasive compounds and tarnish retardants. The mitt is pre-treated with fine polishing agents and anti-tarnish compounds, designed for quick, hands-on cleaning of silverware, trays, and decorative pieces. They allow you to polish and handle items simultaneously, reducing the risk of fingerprints and drops.
How do I use the polishing mitt correctly?
Rub gently over the metal surface using circular motions until tarnish disappears. For intricate detail, gently rub the mitt with a bit more pressure. Finish by buffing the whole unit.
Do I need any additional polishes or liquid?
No, the mitts are pre-treated, they are only designed for lightly tarnished silver items. For extremely tarnished items, pre-clean with a good quality silver polish first. The mitt is purely for maintenance.
How do I use the polishing mitt correctly?
Slip the mitt on and gently rub the silver until tarnish fades, then buff with a clean area. The mitts’ warmth activates the polishing compound. Avoid moisture — the treatment is dry-formulated.
How long will the mitt remain effective?
Each silver polishing mitt treats multiple items. Once it darkens and no longer polishes effectively, replace it — use it stand alone, do not wash or use it with polish.
Why use an impregnated silver polishing mitt over traditional polishes?
Because they are designed for maintenance. They’re faster, less messy and reduce over-polishing, which helps preserve fine detailing and inscriptions on antiques.
Can the sliver polishing mitt be reused?
Yes. Store it sealed in its pouch after use to prevent drying out. Replace when blackened or ineffective.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
Always test in an inconspicuous area before using. Always test on a small, hidden section before first use.
