I have a pile of silver waiting to be cleaned up a bit. I like the look of a little tarnish on my silver, but what I have right now is black. Can't wait to see what happens, it's magic!Betsy@My Salvaged Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120247339822621125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-72161530456216242232011-03-15T13:00:41.062-04:002011-03-15T13:00:41.062-04:00That's amazing!

I had a friend who was a housemother at a KU Sorority She was the one that told me about the foil -- they used to line the sink with it and clean the huge silver tea service!<br /><br />The only downside is that it does tarnish quicker than when you polish -- the polish has something in it that retards tarnishing but . . that method is so quick that you don't mind doing it more often.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-73432991937635883382011-03-14T21:07:30.899-04:002011-03-14T21:07:30.899-04:00I didn't think the method of using aluminum fo...I didn't think the method of using aluminum foil and baking soda worked well at all for my medium to heavily tarnished pieces. I see that Martha recommended washing soda, which is definitely different from what most "recipes" call for. I'm glad that it worked for you. I ended up using TarnX, then polishing with Hagerty's. I kinda like a lightly tarnished look on some of my pieces- makes life easier on me, too!
