Tips & Warnings

• Colgate works the best for me when i clean my silverware up, i keep an extra tube in my kitchen drawer just for when i clean my utensils.
• For best results do this once a year, and your silver wear will stay new looking for a long time.
• you may possibly blind someone with your newly polished spoons and forks ;)
