CLEANING IVORY

You have some serving pieces that have ivory trim. As you look at them you notice that it is starting to yellow. You know that there should be some way to clean them, but you don't want to ruin the pieces.

You can clean up the yellowing by dipping a slice of lemon into some salt.

Now rub the ivory with the slice of salted lemon and it should erase some of the yellowing that you see.

Once the ivory is clean to your satisfaction, rinse under some warm water to remove any residue and dry thoroughly with a soft towel.
