Tips on cleaning E.P.N.S

[None-ya]

Just after some cheap and easy way of cleaning E.N.P.S (electro plated nickel, silver) spoons lol. Long story short I got some from my Nana who had to move and down size into a flat and I got 5 spoons that I would like to cheaply clean up.

Also got a 40 year old cockatoo, yeah go me I think I've already lost some hearing lmao

Gentlest way to a nice result I’ve found, is a soft toothbrush (for filigree and detail areas) plus Autosol Aluminium polish.

The most durable solution has been rhodium plating, but that’s not cheap. Looks good after 30+ years of careful use and no polishing.

Was kinda hoping for some I could just 'soak' them in, I don't think there anything real expensive, I only grabbed them because they have 'monks/priests' craved as the handle

You could try jewellery cleaning solution.

I use bleach and boiling water to clean the regular cutlery every 6 months or so to bring them back to new

I ended up using silvo (?) on in and found two outta the five are abit thin on the plating, also tried washing machine powder as a paste to little prevail

1 part vinegar 8 parts hot water and soak your cutlery in it for approximately 5-10 minutes. Once the time is up, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Alternatively, add 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to warm water, and repeat the above-mentioned process of soaking, rinsing and drying.
