Easy Peasy Silver Polish

Posted by admin

December 18, 2007 |

The Know it All’s had their annual Christmas Party last weekend, and in all the hustle and bustle, I forgot to buy silver polish for the bells and trays. So, there I was at 1 am the night before, setting up for the party, and I had to figure out how to do it the homemade way.

A quick internet search and I found this super easy solution!

Ingredients needed:

Aluminum Foil, baking soda, hot water and salt

Directions:

Fill a large bucket or your sink with steamy hot water. Fold a piece of aluminum foil to fit the bottom of your container and put it in the water. Next add a tbsp of baking soda, and a tablespoon of salt. Let sit for one to two minutes, so the ingredients can react to each other. Now, dip your tarnished silver into the hot water, let sit for a few seconds, then remove and dry with a soft cloth.

The tarnish just fell off my silver. Only the tarnish thats really deep remained. I had a silver bell that hangs on my Christmas tree, etched with the year of my birth, and it was so tarnished I couldn’t read it anymore. I dipped it into the water for 20 seconds, and it came out so shiny! I couldn’t believe it!

No more of those kits you buy in the catalogs. No more long polishing sessions with that yucky, pasty goo! Hooray!
