Option 1 - Aluminium Foil

Find a container large enough to immerse the item to be cleaned. Put a piece of aluminium foil into the container and add hot water and salt. Dip the silverware into the solution and after a few seconds it will become white and shining.

Cleaning silver with aluminium foil - the reason this works is Aluminium is very active metal and silver is quite inert so aluminium reacts with the (tarnished silver) and frees up the silver metal and removes the rest in a chemical reaction. Silver is fairly inert but will react with any sulphur compounds in the air which is why Silver slowlytarnishes.

Option 2 - Lemon Juice

Clean silver with the juice of a lemon and polish up with a soft clean cloth.

Use cotton buds to get into difficult crevices.

After cleaning your good silver to prevent it tarnishing, store it in an airtight plastic container.

Option 3 - Toothpaste

Toothpaste is good for removing tarnish on Sliver. Coat the silver with toothpaste and then with it under warm water, work it into a foam using gentle pressure. Rinse well.
