How Do You Clean Gold Plated Flatware?
Gold plated flatware is a set of eating utensils that are coated with real gold. Because of the plating there is a risk of chipping when cleaning the flatware, so it can be hard to maintain. You probably spent way too much money on your gold plated flatware to allow it to rust and oxidize with time, so it’s best to get an idea of the correct way to get it clean. There is a specific process for cleaning gold plated forks, spoons, knives and other utensils that will help to keep them shining and glimmering every time you use them at classy affairs. Clean excess dirt and grime from the gold plated flatware with a soft cloth, mild soap and lukewarm water. Soak the flatware in warm to hot soapy water to loosen up difficult food deposits, but not for too long—just long enough for the dirt to lift off the surface. Be sure to get in between the rungs of the forks, and to wash the entire surface of each piece of flatware right down to the handles. For stubborn spots, add a little lemon juice
