Rinse and dry:

Once the paste has taken effect, rinse the utensil thoroughly under running water to completely remove the product.
Dry the utensil with a clean, dry cloth or let it air dry naturally.

Storage:

Store homemade aluminum polishing paste in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight.

Additional Tips:

In addition to using homemade aluminum polish to clean your aluminum utensils, you can also complement this experience with other products and special care. Here are two additional suggestions:

Deep Clean with White Vinegar: Before applying homemade aluminum polish, consider deep cleaning with white vinegar. Soak the aluminum utensil in a 1:1 water and vinegar solution for a few minutes, then rinse and apply the homemade aluminum polish as directed.
Polishing with Vegetable Oil: After cleaning with homemade aluminum polish, you can finish by polishing your utensils with a little vegetable oil. Apply a small amount of oil to a soft cloth and gently rub it over the aluminum surface to add even more shine and protection.
