How To Revive Aluminium

2 tablespoons of cream of tartar

Hot water

Soft cleaning cloth

Buffing pad or cloth

Green Goddess Glass Spray Cleaner

This also works on stainless steel.

To get your aluminium looking like new, boil the jug and put two tablespoons of cream of tartar into a mug or pyrex jug, then pour the hot water in a little at a time mixing until a thick paste forms.

Put some of the paste onto your soft cleaning cloth and rub onto the aluminium in a circular motion, continue until you’ve done the whole surface. Next buff the surface using the buffing pad/cloth and wipe off any extra paste as you go.
