How Do You Clean Tarnished Silver Without Polishing?
Silver polish can be expensive and using it is hard work. But you don’t have to go through all of that to get your silver things clean. All you need is a little know-how. Place a sheet of aluminum foil at the bottom of your sink. Fill the sink half-way with lukewarm water. Add two tablespoons of salt. Place your silver pieces in the water. Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes. Ionization will occur and the tarnish will transfer to the aluminum foil. Take the silver piece out of the water and dry with a soft cloth.
