Polishing the family silver



Winter is approaching and yet I still have no desire to polish silver... weird isn't it? In my quest to always find things that work well and are simple, today I'm sharing a silver polishing recipe from Aggie's kitchen.

  • 1 quart water
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  • Small piece of aluminum foil

  1. Place the water in a glass container. 
  2. Mix in the baking soda and salt. 
  3. Add the small piece of aluminum foil.
  4. Soak your silver in the mixture until the silver is clean. Soaking time will depend on how tarnished the silver is. 
  5. After soaking, wash the silver with soap and water and dry well.
