Tips for cleaning silver with baking soda. Includes recipe and instructions here {on Stain Removal 101}

In fact, using baking soda to clean silver is one of the oldest uses of baking soda there is.

This is how you do it:

Simply combine 1 1/2 cups of baking soda with 1/2 cup water, in a bowl, to make a paste.

Dip a clean soft cloth, such as a microfiber cloth or 100% cotton flannel, into the paste and then rub gently onto the baking soda paste onto the silver, rubbing in a circular motion where possible, and a lengthwise motion for the handles of any flatware.

Hint: If you have lots of detailed work in your silver you are cleaning you can also dip an old (soft) toothbrush into the paste and use this to gently rub the paste onto the silver. (Be very careful not to scratch your silver though when using a brush, since silver is very soft.)

After you have covered the silver with the baking soda paste rinse it thoroughly to remove all the paste, and then dry thoroughly.

Drying thoroughly is an important last step because you don't want your silver to tarnish again from too much moisture.
