Polishing silver while
wearing rubber gloves promotes tarnish. Instead,
choose plastic or cotton gloves.
Baking Soda. Apply a paste of baking soda and water.
Rub, rinse, and polish dry with a soft cloth. To
remove tarnish from silverware, sprinkle baking soda
on a damp cloth and rub it on the silverware until
tarnish is gone. Rinse and dry well.
Aluminum Foil, Baking Soda, and Salt. Place a sheet of
aluminum foil in the bottom of a pan, add 2-3 inches
of water, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and
bring to a boil. Add silver pieces, boil 2-3 minutes,
making sure the water covers the silver pieces. Remove
silver, rinse, dry, and buff with a soft cloth. This
method cleans the design and crevices of silver
pieces.
Toothpaste. To clean off tarnish, coat the silver with
toothpaste, then run it under warm water, work it into
a foam, and rinse it off. For stubborn stains or
intricate grooves, use an old soft-bristled
toothbrush. |
