W. J. Hagerty Hagerty 12170 Silversmiths' Silver Wash, 19 Ounces, Blue

We have a lot of silver pieces at home, and the Hagerty Silversmiths' Silver Wash has been one of the best products we’ve used. It cleans beautifully, leaves the silver shining, and the results last a long time. It does take a bit more time than silver wipes, but the deeper clean makes it absolutely worth it. Highly recommended for maintaining real silver.

We purchased 3 different cleaners and this one worked best by far. Lots of elbow grease needed but using the included sponge made getting the nooks and crannies much easier than using a rag.

I was not expecting this to work so well and so easily, so I didn’t take a “before” picture, but I did stop part way to show the progress. Pretty amazing! Time to finish the rest, great product!

I highly recommend this polish. I have quite a bit of antique silver and am always looking for a polish that will keep it shining without stripping off the patina. For years, I have been using a cream polish that works well, but it is messy. I volunteer at a charity consignment shop; they use Hagerty foam to polish silver for sale and I was impressed with how well it worked and how easy it was to use. When I went to order some for myself, I saw this and decided to try it instead. I highly recommend it. This made polishing my silver was so quick and easy. It rinses off clean with no residue. The silver is left with a warm beautiful sheen. The trick I discovered is to add enough warm water to work into a foam--it does not work well as a cream., and buff the pieces afterwards with a clean microfiber cloth. I keep most of my silver pretty clean, so there was not a lot of tarnish. To really test this polish, I took out an old sterling compact that had been stuck in a drawer and had turned completely black. It took a little more foam and rubbing but the shine quickly returned.

I have used Hagerty products for many years and have had better success with them than others I’ve tried. This item cleans badly tarnished silver and brings it back to new condition. Be patient and let it do the work.

This product cleans well, and it is safe for silver with delicate stones in it, such as turquoise or pearls. It is impossible not to get some cleaner on the stones, and it caused no damage or discoloraton when this happened. But it is not accurate to call it a "wash." From that name, I had expected a liquid in which to dip silver, such as chains, that have hard to reach areas. This is a good product and I will keep it for certain uses, but I would not consider it a "silver wash" by any means.

I have used this brand of silver polish for many years. I have found it is different from other silver polishes because it has an additive that keeps silver from tarnishing for a longer time.

I have used a liquid silver jewelry cleaner in the past and have not had some success with several tarnished pieces. This paste is amazing! I used it in conjunction with a silver polishing cloth I purchased and together I was shocked.It has returned several pieces of jewelry to their new state. I highly recommend it.

Good Product

This product works. I worked 10 yrs for a well known national jewelry store and we always used this product to polish our silverware. It works. It’s gentle on silverware and easy to use.

I had purchased this product locally years ago and then was unable to find it again. I’m very pleased that Amazon carries it.

Works great on silver

I bought a badly tarnished silver-plated goblet at a thrift store and was not able to get it gleaming with the old aluminum foil, baking soda, and boiling water trick. I used Hagerty Silversmiths' Wash, and within minutes, the goblet looked like new! I agree with other reviewers that the instructions on the packaging seem vague, but I think it's because they seem too simple -- it really is that easy to use! (And if you need a demo, a quick online search for "How to use Hagerty Silversmith's Wash" will bring you to Hagerty's video demonstration.) Great product!
