Rub the copper with a lint-free cloth or a dry microfiber dusting cloth. Use a circular buffing motion as you rub to remove dust and bring out the shine. Copper plating may require no more than weekly dusting and buffing with the cloth to bring out its shine if it isn't tarnished.
How do you clean copper plate?
- Mix 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup flour and enough vinegar to make a thick paste.
- Use a soft cloth to rub the paste on the surface of the copper.
- Buff the copper item until it shines.
- Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly.
Does copper plated tarnish?
Answer: From what you describe, there does not appear to be a problem with your cleaning and plating process. You will find the copper will tarnish quite easily with very slight amounts of moisture and/or oxygen. This can be on the level of simply an adsorbed water later at the surface.
