Cleaning Tarnished Silver

Silver jewellery looks lovely when new, but over time it will tarnish, becoming dark and dull. Here is a quick way to restore the shine.

  1. Line a bowl with tinfoil, shiny side up.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.
  3. Pour boiling water into the bowl.
  4. Place item to be cleaned in the solution.
  5. Leave for five minutes.
  6. Remove, rinse and dry.
