A simple and effective method to clean and restore the shine of your silver items using common household ingredients.
Line the bottom of your sink with the aluminum foil, shiny side up.
Ensure the foil covers the entire bottom of the sink for maximum effectiveness.
Fill the sink with hot water.
The water should be hot enough to dissolve the baking soda effectively.
Sprinkle the baking soda evenly into the water.
Stir gently to help the baking soda dissolve completely.
Place the silver items in the solution, ensuring they touch the foil.
Arrange the items so they don't overlap too much for even cleaning.
Let the silver soak for several minutes, observing as the tarnish transfers to the foil.
You can gently agitate the water to speed up the process.
Remove the silver items, rinse them thoroughly with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Ensure the items are completely dry to prevent new tarnish from forming.
