Yeah, Tarn-x is not for everything. I use it for intricate crevices like silver chains that a polish would gum up. I used it a lot when I did jewelry repairs for two jewelry stores in Va. It does a great job of brightening things up without a lot of work. The goal here is to clean at home where most people don’t have a steam cleaner, tumbler or vibrating cleaning tank like jewelry stores do. There are also methods on the internet for baking soda, aluminum foil and hot water. That work good too without tarn-x but again some things you don’t want to submerge in water. This is a great place where we can learn from each other’s experiences so thanks for the tarn-x caution ! Hey what do you think of you writing a blog here about the proper use of polishes and waxes for jewelry? Kyle
