easy, safe tarnish remover

Post by rosanna gusler »

easy tarnish remover..... place silver on aluminum foil. wrap. make it like a long envelope with a row of pendants (or whatever) in it. mash it fairly tight. (the silver has to touch the aluminum.) poke or cut some holes in the paclage...... in a nonreactive container, mix up a handfull of baking soda in hot water. enough to submerge package..... submerge package for a few min. turn it over and leave for a few min. swish it around some if you want. all tarnish will be gone. ...silver must be clean. grease or wax will prevent the baking soda water from touching tarnish.... this works great on silver ware/serving dishes. anything tarnished will clean up like this. ...i have a silver sugar dish that i clean this way. just ball up alumin foil around it and put in a bowl of baking soda water. really amazing. r.
