Gentle cleaning for pewter pieces avoids polish
Household hints advise soap and water for cleaning pewter, then rinse and rub with an old cloth. Do not use metal polish. If pewter shows spots from a sickness, soak in a strong lye solution for 15 minutes, remove with tongs, scrub, rinse, and repeat if needed, then restore shine with plain rubbing.
Leather glove care and shaping steps
After washing gloves roll in a Turkish towel from fingertips toward the cuff. Knead for a few minutes then unroll and blow into the fingers to shape. Hang over a towel rod to dry away from heat. While damp soften the leather with gentle finger work.
