Clean Silver Without Chemicals
Dip cleaners can damage your silver. Try hot water, & a white toothpaste-not gel. Rub piece with a soft cloth, then rinse.
For occasional use on very tarnished silver, fill sink with HOT water and line with a sheet of foil. Add 3 tsp borax & baking soda. Soak for a few minutes, rinse, and dry.
