Hello all,
I will be putting some pieces of silver on exhibit in
the next few weeks. In researching how to clean the
tarnish (which I am only planning to do to the badly
tarnished pieces), I found a recommendation to use
"washing soda" and distilled water in Bruce MacLeish's
book _The Care of Antiques and Historical
Collections_.
Can someone verify for me what "washing soda" is? And
also, where does one find "precipitated chalk"?
Thank you,
Kim Kenney
