I have been asked recently by people what polish to use to keep silver / brass/ gold jewellery bright and shiny. I have used MAAS for a long time on the brass components of clocks. However what do you use please?

For home maintenance, I would recommend warm soap and water with a "soft" brush thoroughly dry, then polish with a Jewellery polishing cloth otherwise take it to a competent Jeweller.
I agree with Bob. Washing up liquid on a soft sponge keeps it fresh and grease free as general maintenance.Then a silver cloth such as Goddard readily available in supermarkets or hardware shops. They also so a tub of polish with a sponge which you then rinse off then dry with a soft duster. This one is good if there are more intricate areas to get into. If I use that one I tend to do the soap wash after as I don’t think it smells so good especially if it’s near your face
I use Town Talk silver cloths and find they bring things up to a good shine. If using washing up liquid, I always use a good quality one, rather than a cheappie.

The washing up liquid used in the jewellery dept at ECA was probably industrial strength green stuff. As strong as needed to take off the rouge and everything else. I can honestly say I’ve tried different brands and use the cheapest
The jewellery you wear develops a patina, which is personal to you. So it is counterproductive to bring it up like new.
