Part 2 — A Cleaning Bath for Silverware
Reading edition
A good way to clean silverware of all coloring by eggs or other substances is to place the silver articles in a kettle of boiling water containing a few pieces of zinc. An electrolytic action is produced by the zinc, water and silver which decomposes the sulphides on the silver and leaves it well cleaned. No silver is taken away by this method.—Contributed by Loren Ward, Des Moines, Iowa.
