How can i remove tape residue from silver plate
Please let me know how to remove double-sided tape residue from a silver plate?
I sell a lot of silver on Ebay. Jewelry, silverware, serving sets. Silver polish like Wrights and dips like TarnX tend to remove some of the metal. The foil method doesn't work that great and still leaves a grey film that still needs to be removed. I use white toothpaste (not gel) and a damp toothbrush. For large items I use a damp cloth. Also works on copper, brass, gold, porcelain, ceramics, sneakers, plastics, etc. For my sales I needed one product for cleaning everything.
If after cleaning and there still is rust, try WD40. If really bad I would get rid of it. Silver plate has very little value today.
Hi Karen. I'm Cindy. Use approx. one tablespoon of baking soda and a damp rag to buff out the rust. Remove any remaining rust by buffing with toothpaste. Rinse with hot running water. Dry with soft cloth. Good luck Karen and Happy Holidays.
Hi Karen - This is the most effective and all-natural silver cleaning and polishing method that we use - I'm sure about the rust but you can always try. It's also been featured by Hometalk. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

These are many ways to clean your silver, try one of these:
No more tarnishing with aluminum
Boil 4 cups of water, a tablespoon of baking soda, and some aluminum foil. Place silverware in for 10 seconds then remove with kitchen tongs.
Ketchup isn’t just for eating
Tarnished silver can be polished with ketchup using a paper towel – for silver that has crevices, use a toothbrush.
Kill two birds with one stone
When using Windex to clean your windows, spray some on a rag and use it to scrub your silver.
Brush your silver with toothpaste
Use circular motions to brush non-gel and non-abrasive toothpaste onto silver. Leave on for five minutes before washing off with water.
Use soda for tarnished silver
Fill a plastic bowl with lemon-lime soda and place slightly tarnished silver in it for one hour. Rinse and dry with a paper towel.
