Silver polish. Cigarette ash to clean silver

Submitted by Robert Thompson

just watching an auction show and it was mentioned to use-cigarette ash to clean silver --???ok--

I took a small silver box (well tarnished) and diped my finger in the ash tray (dry) and had a rub---it worked.

Tried with a little moisture(licked my finger)dipped and that worked even better--will wounders never cease???

This is awsome! I used a SOFT paper towel, cigarette ashes, a couple of drops of water and my finger!   Wow,who knew?
