If you’re the type to polish the
silver for the festive season…
we found this tip –

Try rubbing ketchup
(tomato sauce for us)
on stained old candlesticks.
Polish and buff.

Rub brass with olive oil to stop it tarnishing. Clean tarnished brass in water used to cook white (boiled) beans.

Soak tarnished silver in sour milk 30 mins, then buff dry!
