Silver polish?

[dandysmom]

Does anyone know if a dried out jar of silver polish can be "revived"? Obviously I don't use it very much :oops:, but hate to waste a half jar of silver cream! Any tips out there would be greatly appreciated!!

I have a jar of dried up silver cream too Eileen!!! I just used it as normal and it worked just the same. Give it a go and see.

Did you just wet the sponge and let it sit in the jar overnight to soften it? It's hard as cement .....

Didn't leave the sponge in the jar overnight (can't really remember) but probably just dampened the sponge and rubbed it over the polish.

I will give it a try .........

Unfortunately my almost full tube of toothpaste is Crest's Whitening with Citrus, which is gel with orange stripes...don't think that will work! I will try the wet sponge overnight and report ..

Thanks for the info, and a "tips" thread sounds like a great idea!
