Cleanins Silver

Here is an excellent and simple method to clean silverware using household materials and with very little effort. This method might not be adequate for cleaning siver jewelry. Materials needed: 1. Silverware to clean 2. Boiling water 3. Aluminium Foil 4. Baking soda 5. A bowl large enough you could cover the silver dish with water.. Clean soft towel lProcedure:At the bottom of the bowl put a layer of aluminum foil with the shiny side up.Sprinkle over the foil, heaping teaspoon of baking soda (for a large silverware, add 2-3 teaspoons).Pour the boiling water into the bowl. Add the silver dish carefully in. If water dont cover the dish, add some more, taking care not to pour it on the silver dish. Within seconds, the silver tarnish starts to bind to the aluminium foil. Wash with dish soap and lukewarm water .At the end of the process, be sure to thoroughly dry the silver and polish it using a clean soft towel.What can we learn?Silver tarnishes as a result of oxidation. It reacts with the sulfur particles that are in the air (sulfur emitted by cars) and silver sulfide is formed. Silver sulfide is black. Once we remove the layer of silver sulfide, our object will return to clean silver.

LATEST SALE, List It and 4 Heart/Views in 1 Shop Above, Plus 12 Incognito Views

Guidelines 1. List your latest sale 2. For the shop before you heart and view their latest sale plus 4 listings in their shop. Then do 12 Incognito Views. 3. Leave a comment such as done, 1 x 4 plus Sold etc 4. Wait 1 shops before listing your next sale. These must be current sales as the boost to promotion is going to be short lived. 5. I listed 3 shops to get you started.

ACCEPTING RETURNS OR NO?

I am curious to know why some in our group do not accept returns. Currently I do accept returns, and I wonder if those of you who don't accept returns have always had your policy this way or did you change it for some reason? I have always accepted returns thinking that would encourage more sales, just like I thought Free Shipping would encourage more sales but it does not seem to be the case. Any insights on the acceptance or non-acceptance of returns would be appreciated, as well as the free shipping issue. Thanks Lee

Ideas for showcasing vintage appeal on social media

Hello. I'm Yoiko, and I run the "KIMONO⁺on" shop, a kimono upcycle fashion item brand. The materials used are vintage kimonos with over 50 years of history, but I find it difficult to convey the beauty of vintage kimonos on Instagram and other platforms. Could you tell me what kind of approach you take on social media? What social media techniques have you found successful in sharing culturally rich and visually striking products?

How to start?

Welcome! Unfortunately, the current situation forced us to look for alternative forms of sale. For almost 6 years we have been producing various types of protectors for phones, GPS and other portable devices. We make covers by hand from various materials. Previously, we traded in bazaars and had several stores where we delivered goods. Is etsy a good platform for us to start selling online? What should we know and what to watch out for? I'm sorry for my English Thank you for all your help
