SILVER CLEANING RECIPE

Steps:

• Put drain stopper in the sink and add the foil, one piece lengthwise and one across.
• Pour in boiling water.
• Add the baking soda and swish it around.
• Place the silver pieces in the solution, making sure they touch the foil, and let stand for several minutes.
• Carefully watch as the tarnish moves from the silverware to the foil.
• Remove the pieces, rinse well, and dry with a soft cloth.
• Only use this method occasionally, especially if you have silverplate.
• This can only be done in your sink--enamel or porcelin ONLY!
• DO NOT USE in a stainless steel sink.
• This recipe should NOT be used on antique or priceless pieces and should be used only occasionally.
• Keep in mind that this removes the oxide finish that adds subtle shadows, which create depth and dimension to detailed silver patterns.
