This is hands-down the simplest method to polish your silver. See how easy it is to polish this tea compost in just over 1 minute.

You’ll Need:

• A large pot
• Aluminum foil
• Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda)
• Water
• Kitchen towels
• Tongs

Method:

1. Line a pot (large-enough to fit your silver) with aluminum foil, and drop a ball of foil in the pot.
2. Fill pot with water, allowing for displacement to accommodate your silver, and bring to a low simmer.
3. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Carefully lower your silver into water.
4. Make sure silver is in physical contact with aluminum foil, using the foil ball to insure contact. The tarnish will chemically transfer itself from the silver to the aluminum foil.
5. Allow silver (while in contact with foil) to sit submerged in low-simmering sodium bicarbonate-infused water for 15 seconds.
6. With tongs, CAREFULLY remove silver to a clean and grease-free kitchen towel to cool.
7. Rinse off white film residue from silver with cool clean water, dry with a fresh towel – gently buff to a shine.
8. Discard tarnished foil, and repeat process with fresh foil and baking soda for the next piece of silver.

Note:

Use a roasting pan sat over two burners instead of a pot to accommodate your entire set (up to a setting for twelve) of silver flatware.
