Learned this while I was living in Mexico. You tend to learn tricks like these when you don't have things readily available! Not for use on antiqued silver. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon water, softener (also called washing soda or lime-scale remover) |
1 tablespoon salt |
hot water (if it can burn you, it's too hot) |
aluminum foil |
Directions:
1. Run a quart of hot water into your kitchen sink.
2. Dissolve the washing soda and salt in the water.
3. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the bottom of the sink and place your tarnished silver on top. It must touch the aluminum foil.
4. The silver that's touching the foil and covered with water should become clean within 10sec.
5. If badly tarnished, rub silver item with a cloth after removing it from the water.
6. Alternatively:.
7. Next time you boil potatoes, cool the leftover water and dip your tarnished silverware into it.
