How do I properly clean a silver soap dish?
I have a silver soap dish from one of my grandparents that I put a bar of soap in. The soap is gone now and it left the bottom of the container various shades of pink, blue, and green. What do I use to clean it out?
If there are pink and blue green stains this could indicate that the dish is plated copper. The chemicals in the soap have reacted with the metal(s) to cause corrosion. Try using a commercial silver cleaner with a soft rag. It may take some elbow grease and is likely that it will still have some staining but you can probably find some improvement this way.
