Are you asking how to clean silver? If so use Wright's Silver Polish. You do not want anything very abrasive that will take a coat of silver off.
The easy way is with aluminum foil:

Buy silver polish
I like TarnX
I sell a lot of silver on Ebay. Jewelry, silverware, serving sets. Silver polish like Wrights and dips like TarnX tend to remove some of the metal. The foil method doesn't work that great and still leaves a grey film that still needs to be removed. I use white toothpaste (not gel) and a damp toothbrush. For large items I use a damp cloth. Also works on copper, brass, gold, porcelain, ceramics, sneakers, plastics, etc. For my sales I needed one product for cleaning everything.
I'm hooked on using steel wool soap pads called Brillo Basics. I usually buy them at the Dollar Tree for a box of eight for only one dollar. Brillo Basics have been around for years. And have been known to clean ceramic stove tops, silver, silverware, and even glass. Plus it won't scratch. This is my favorite cleaning product. First, I like to dab a little corner in sections with hot water each use. I like to wear rubber gloves while I'm using this protect.
These are many ways to clean your silver, try one of these:
No more tarnishing with aluminum
Boil 4 cups of water, a tablespoon of baking soda, and some aluminum foil. Place silverware in for 10 seconds then remove with kitchen tongs.
Ketchup isn’t just for eating
Tarnished silver can be polished with ketchup using a paper towel – for silver that has crevices, use a toothbrush.
Kill two birds with one stone
When using Windex to clean your windows, spray some on a rag and use it to scrub your silver.
Brush your silver with toothpaste
Use circular motions to brush non-gel and non-abrasive toothpaste onto silver. Leave on for five minutes before washing off with water.
Use soda for tarnished silver
Fill a plastic bowl with lemon-lime soda and place slightly tarnished silver in it for one hour. Rinse and dry with a paper towel.
