Homemade Silver Tarnish Remover
Submitted by Rose Marie
Nellwyn asked for help in cleaning silver with foil:
This tip is for getting rid of tarnish in any kind of silver, jewelry,
silverware, etc. I learned this from chemistry class in high school.
Dissolve some salt in some hot water, put a piece of aluminum foil in
the salt water and put your silver in it. In just a few moments, the
tarnish is gone! Bigger pieces of silverware will need a longer
period of time, but this always works and does not damage the silver.
Homemade Tarnish Remover:
Put foil in the bottom of a bowl or dish. Add 2 Tbs baking soda
and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Put your jewelry/silver on top of the mixture.
Add boiling water to cover, wait about 2 minutes. You will be amazed
at the results! The foil and baking soda create a chemical reaction that
removes tarnish!
Also, 3 heaping Tlbs. baking soda, piece of aluminum foil, crumpled up,
pan with boiling water and leave a few minutes.
I hope this helps.
