I took out our menorah which is silver plated, and I think we forgot to clean it b4 putting it away last year. Now it has gooey rancid oil all over it. How do I clean it?

Goo Gone, nail polish remover, or acetone followed by a wash in hot, soapy water and buff dry. If you object to "chemicals" you can try rubbing with baking soda and then washing with hot,soapy water, but that will take a lot more elbow grease if it works at all.

Nail polish remover won't ruin the top layer--I think it's silver plated, but I'm not sure--it was a cheap but nice menorah I bought in israel.
