Clean Tarnish From Your Jewelry
Line glass baking dish with tin foil.Set jewelry on top.
Spinkle with baking soda.
Pour boiling water on top.
Let set for 10 minutes.
Supposedly, the tarnish ends up being transferred to the foil.
I haven't personally done this so I don't know how well it works. So, be forewarned - your jewelry is in your hands. Which it was anyway, but you know what I mean... Try this tip at your own risk.
Anyway, how I normally get tarnish off my sterling silver is by using a sterling silver polishing cloth. They are absolutely, just like magic! See below for a link to one on Amazon.

Clean Satin Shoes
This tip comes from Lucky magazine via Due Farina designers Marina Rosin-Levine & Fabiana Rigamonti:Get a bar of Marseille soap and a white cloth.
Mix the soap into a bowl of water.
Dip cloth in water, then rub on the stain ina circular motion. Don't scrub too hard.
Air-dry out of direct light to avoid color damage.
