Hello everyone, Any tips for cleaning a gilt bowl of a sterling spoon? Could one use regular silver polish or a polishing cloth or will that remove the gilt? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Best to use a liquid polish as these are more gentle than paste or wadding. I use silvo liquid for these jobs with a soft cloth.
