How many of you have a Silver Set that looks like this?
First I will say I love Silver Service Sets and I have several in boxes still that someday my “mansion” will have enough places for them to show. This particular one came from The Deacon and Pops. It was given to them over 40 years ago as a Wedding Gift from a dear family friend. I received it a few years ago at Christmas and have loved it every since. I particularly love the little pineapple on the top.
Well it sits out and tarnishes and I hate, let me repeat… I HATE to polish silver. I am not sure if it came from helping my Grandmother’s and my Mother polish theirs as a child but I LOATHE it! That being abundantly clear now I noticed it needed a little attention. I set out on Pinterest to find a “greener” way to polish the old silver. Pinterest of course had the answer, I swear it is like the Helpful Heloise of the New Millennium. Here is goes, you won’t believe how easy it is.
Cast of Players:
Dirty Silver
Baking Soda
Foil
Salt
Boiling Water
Line your sink or shallow wash basin with foil.
Next add silver. Pour 1/2 C Baking Soda and 1/2 C Salt over top.
Last pour boiling water over top to submerge. Wait 2 minutes, Rinse and dry with Clean Dish Towel and Ouila’!
My camera doesn’t do it justice. It really is shiny and sparkly. Took me all of 10 minutes. Wow! If I would have only new that in 1977.
