    I have not tried it, but just read that WD40 oil cleans silver. Try it!

    what I do is use a soap pad and it will take the rust off but don't rub too hard just apply a little pressure and it should do the trick also using barkeeper's friend to take off rust

    You could use Bar Keepers Friend. It’s not more than $2-$3 a can from your local Walmart. I’ve also been seeing people use tin foil too. Just crumple the tin foil and scrub. Not sure how well that works, but worth a try.

    A little cleanser, like Comet, applied with a scotchbrite pad will clean the rust off.
