Hello, Normally you would dip your silver into the Goddard's Silver Dip solution inside the bottle. If the item won't fit you can use a cotton swap to apply it. You could also pour the product into a compatible container and submerse the silver in it. The product can be reused by being poured back into the original container. Do not pour Goddard's Silver Dip down a drain. You will need to be careful not let the product touch skin or other surfaces. Thank you
