Ingredients First off, Tarn-X Tarnish Remover is some heavy-duty tarnish remover so only use it if your piece is so tarnished that any other cleaners won’t get the job done. If you do have some really stubborn buildup, Tarn-X tarnish remover may be the solution. To use it, apply it with a cotton ball to your silver pieces and work it into the silver. The tarnish should come off onto the cotton ball. Then, rinse the piece following the application. Never soak the piece in Tarn-X, or let it sit on the surface for more than 2 minutes. Clean your piece of metal with liquid dish soap and rinse, then dry the item thoroughly. Coat the surface of the item with polish and allow it to soak in for 5 minutes.

As well as cleaning up your metals to display-worthy brilliance, Maxm protects them too, making it even easier to keep on top of their cleaning routine. The gentle formula ensures your precious treasures stay sparkling long after you’ve polished them, as well as providing them with long-lasting protection from corrosion and tarnishing.
