Beautiful redo! -
Wow, what a difference! -
Yep, Baking soda that's what I use...LOL it's wonderful stuff... -
This is effective, but does tend to take some of the silver away - need to minimize the number of times you use this method. That is why it is not recommended for silver plated - soon the plate will deteriorate. I tend to use the silvo polish - quick and easy as well. -
Oooh! I totally needed this...I found a stash of silver spoons a few weeks ago! You rock! -
Wow, thank you for this tip. I use silver items in my oil paintings and this is just a wonderful tip to keep my still life 'props' very shiny. -
does this affect a mirror finished silver piece? baking soda is a little abrasive, I would be worried over time it might dull the finish as Gail Salminen mentioned. -
Jeanine Wester when I am concerned about abrasiveness, I usually use a market product like Twinkle or Hagerty silver care.

This method was a chemical experiment in school 54 years ago! We thought it was really cool! -
I am so glad you posted this. I have an old silver set from my mom that has been wrapped in newpaper for years! I took them all out and cleaned them this way and they sparkle! I did wash them in the dishwasher afterward so we could use them for eating. So pretty! THANKS SO MUCH!
