Ways to clean Silver with everyday household items

Cleaning silver can be done with a few methods:

1. Silver Polish: Use a silver polish cream or liquid and a soft cloth to gently rub the tarnish off. Rinse and dry thoroughly afterward.

2. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to create a paste. Apply it to the silver with a soft cloth, then rinse and dry.

3. Aluminum Foil Method: Line a bowl with aluminum foil, add hot water and a tablespoon of salt, then immerse the silver for a few minutes. Tarnish will transfer from the silver to the aluminum foil. Rinse and dry.

4. Toothpaste: Non-gel toothpaste can work as a mild abrasive to remove tarnish. Apply it with a soft cloth, then rinse and dry.

Always remember to rinse and dry your silver thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or residue from forming.
