I found a old box of paper clips. They are a bit tarnished. How do I restore them so I can use them?

I agree with Poor but Proud. Some things are not worth saving. Toss them.

You can get 100 for 1.00 at the local Dollar Tree's. Some things are not worth saving.

Rub with scrap of steel wool, not cleaning pads, just plain steel wool.

Throw them out. It would take more time and effort than they are worth. The cost of a cleaning product would probably exceed the price of a new box.

Does anyone know how to clean up old metal paper clips so they look shiny again? I have 7 boxes of Quill Jumbo Smooth paper clips that I've had stored in an old desk.
