Maintenance tip Contrary to what people may assume, rubbing the silver will do more harm than good, as it will actually scratch it rather than polish it. Our recommendation is to submerge the whole stopper in Goddard’s Hotel Silver Dip, then wash it with Fairy Liquid and make sure it has dried off. Please wear gloves with the dip as it is unkind to your hands. Please do not rub the polished bottom half of the stopper, but pat dry, so as not to scratch it. It is very important that it is thoroughly dry, as any moisture will tarnish the silver. The silver should be polished with a lint-free cloth but do provide a professional cleaning and polishing service, if that is preferred by the customer.
