Clean Your Silver Simply


I honestly can't remember where I learned this trick. Maybe my Mom? It's pretty funky. To get the tarnish off your silver and help it go from this:


To this:



In just a few minutes all you need are three ingredients:

Tin Foil 
Baking Soda
Hot Water

~Take a pot of hot water and line it with tinfoil. Add lots of baking soda.... perhaps half a cup? Put the silver in the water (make sure it makes contact with the foil). 

That's the mug in the mixture. 

It should take more than a couple of minutes to start seeing the tarnish go. 

Take the silver out of the water and wash it gently with some mild soup to get any extra tarnish wiped away. It should be looking just peachy.    

I shared this post at these funky parties:
