      ...Yes, I agree with using the Barkeepers Friend for a quick cleaning , ..as a former Professional Housekeeper, I also used a combination of salt and vinegar ,if there was not access to a Copper ckezner/ polisher. It works, and it is what was used before the invention of other cleaners/ polishes made for Copper. I agree with Miss Mary on the products she prefers, these are what I used as well.

    I have to admit I have not bought a Rose Forever bouquet yet. I want to. In a way I want blue roses for my blue bedroom. A Pink bouquet for the pink bedroom, and Two for the tables in the sunroom/dining room. So my problem is deciding what is my favorite to start with, not getting everything all at once! I would love a white bouquet for my white creche I keep out year round. I do not want a simple bouquet. I want the mounded bouquet. Variety is the spice of life? With a collection, one must begin!

    • @thetartantopiary
      @thetartantopiary  Год назад

      You are exactly right. I also think things are appreciated more if they are obtained gradually. That is part of the enjoyment of collecting; the anticipation and excitement of finding "the next one"! We are kindred spirits.

    Hello ! I too have a lot of copper, we find it easily here in junk shops and markets. When I find the right shape and quality I send it to a company that makes it like new, polishes the outside and re finishes the inside ready for cooking. It cost about 30 euros per casserole, I found a large gorgeous frying pan in a charity shop for ten euros as someone had painted the handle with thick brown paint (!) so I used stripper and it was easy. The inside was like new. I usually give my extra copper to 'Manor & Maker ' ( who you can find here on YT ). I sent her (Sara) a link to your channel and she loves it, like so many of us. I have a product here in France called 'Eau Japonaise' that takes off the tarnish with almost no effort, it de-oxidises in short. No idea if you can find it under another name but for all tarnish metals it's fantastic. It is smelly and you need gloves. Lovely post again ! xo

    • @thetartantopiary
      @thetartantopiary  Год назад +1

      Thank you, Stephanie. I will try that. Copper in the U.S. is very expensive. I am always jealous of the great bargains across the pond. I do watch Manor & Maker. I was introduced to them from The Chateau Diaries. They are lovely and fun to watch. That was very generous of you to send them a link to my channel.

      Thanks you so much for your kind comments! I have a lot of thoughts on rude people. Sometimes people are unintentionally rude and I understand this, it can happen to us all at one time or another. If someone is inept once I try to overlook it. If the insults or digs continue I might say, "good décor is subjective, but good manners are not". Also, don't be afraid to tell them that their comments hurt your feelings. If they have any decorum at all they should understand. You are not too sensitive. 💗

  • @mizzmolly7649
    @mizzmolly7649 Год назад

    Save yourself a lot of energy when cleaning your copper. All you need is salt and a bottle of lemon juice. Pour the salt on the area. Then pour about a tablespoon of lemon juice into the salt. Rub with a paper towel or a cotton cloth. It's magic.
    For silver, it may be difficult to clean the larger pieces, but this is how I clean my Tiffany silver jewelry. Line a container on the inside completely with aluminum foil. Line the entire bottom with baking soda. Place the silver in the container, on top of the baking soda.pour boiling water into the container. Watch the chemical reaction. Remove in about 60 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes.
