I would urge you to think of the candlesticks as being very robust; they are not plated, lacquered or treated in any way so you can have confidence that the finish on the silver is very tough.

The simplest and easiest method of cleaning your Candlesticks is to wash them regularly in hot water and green Fairy liquid, rinse thoroughly and dry them with a fresh tea-towel. I would advise you to remove the ‘drip pans’ from the Candlesticks and wash them similarly but separately.

If on occasions you feel that they would benefit from a more thorough clean then I would recommend the use of Silver polishing paste. A number of people make it – John Lewis make a version called ‘Anti-tarnish silver paste’; (Sainsbury also sell a version) with jeweller’s rouge’ and I’m sure there are others.

These products are essentially a pink rouge paste and they come with a small sponge that you dip in warm water and rub the paste onto the surface. It is a very gentle but effective process and can be washed off under a warm running tap and dried with a tea-towel.

The only proprietary silver cleaning product that perhaps I would tend to steer clear of is ‘Silver dip’ which does tend to be rather aggressive and is perhaps more appropriate for jewellery.

If you have any problems, or you feel that your Candlesticks would benefit from a more thorough re-furbishment, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
