"How to Clean Tarnished Silver with Aluminum Plate and Baking Soda"
When cleaning silver jewelry we used to get pretty exhausted by having to scrub it rigorously with a jewelry cleaning cloth to have it bright again. But, Miracle! It's not the case any more! You don't have to develop sweat on your forehead to penetrate into all the crannies and hooks any more! Nothing can be easier than to clean silver jewelry.  Just take an aluminum plate or you can also use a plate
covered with aluminum foil. Then
add about 1 tablespoon of table salt and 1 tablespoon or so of the
powdered water softener, Calgon, for instance. Then add some extremely hot
(though not boiling) water to the pie plate and stir to dissolve the salt and softener. Now, just dunk some tarnished silver items in the
solution and - Gosh! - No more tarnish! - Your silver jewelry looks like brand
new!
In fact, you can even substitute baking soda for the water softener. It is
aluminum that works in this method. But, DO NOT use this method for jewelry that
has any precious stones or on antique silver as it will remove the desired antiqued
finish on the silver. However, this can be a good method of cleaning extra silver findings or wire pieces that have become tarnished. The result you can see from the pictures of the silver ring. The pictures might seem dark but the ring is definitely brighter and the difference is obvious.  In fact, this method is commonly used amongst beaders
and silversmiths. They kept it in a secret to attract buyers. But, it's a common
truth that all secrets are revealed sooner or later, isn't it?
