ok, hardly the most important problem but..
I was given a pair of silver plate candlesticks for my 21st. They are pretty plain, but with ridges and grooves, iyswim. They have baize bottoms and herein lies the problem. I cannot put them in hot water to get rid of the wax that drips on them. I did once and the baize has never been the same.. Stupid student me. Obv a knife would scratch. I try to use my nails, have just tried a plastic fork with reasonably soft tines and thought I was managing quite nicely. But when I came to shine them, darn it there was pink silver polish on wax in the grooves.
What do I do? Cotton bud dipped in boiling water?
Don't want to get rid if the, sentimental value, and like using them.
