Silver Polish

1 cup water
1/4 cup soap flakes
2 1/2 tablespoons whiting
1 tablespoon isopropyl alcohol (70%)

Boil water and remove from heat. Add soap flakes and stir to dissolve. Beat mixture by hand or with electric mixture at medium speed until it is foamy. Slowly add whiting and alcohol while beating by hand or at low speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Rub onto silver gently with a damp sponge. Rinse well, then wipe dry. Store mixture in a clean jar with a lid.
