How To Clean Silver or silverware?
I don’t know about you but I think that silverware is beautiful only if it shines. Unfortunately it seems we have to clean it every time we have a special dinner as it always tarnishes when stored a long time.
Cleaning silver is time consuming and the products sold to do it are not cheap. Furthermore these products are rarely good for the environment.
Here is a silver cleaning tip I got from my grandmother, that will give you great results, is ecologic and practically free. Grand-ma recommends to simply wash your silver in very soapy warm water. That’s it !
I have my own trick that also works wonder on silver and silverware in particular. I used it on this tarnished silver baby spoon, and you can see the results.
To get this shiny results in minutes all you need to do is put the silverware in a pan of hot water in which you added a piece of aluminum foil. The exchange of ions will make your silverware shiny in a few minutes. The spoon on this picture was left in the water 4 minutes.
I have heard of another method but I have yet to test it. I would seem that silver can be cleaned by rubbing it with cooked potato pulp, or by soaking in the water in which peeled potatoes were cooked.
Money saving tip: special products to clean silverware are rather expensive to buy. Using either soapy water or the aluminum in water tip are both very cheap, can be done quickly and they both work effectively.
While these methods work well for silverware I urge you to be careful with silver jewelry that have other metals or stones that could be affected.
