How to Clean Silver Without Chemicals
Here's info on how to clean silver jewelry: https://www.novica.com/blog/how-to-clean-and-care-for-sterling-silver-jewelry/
I purchased a cleaning cloth for a couple of bucks at WalMart several years ago. You rub a piece to remove the tarnish. I just did each piece as I was going to wear it. I also have a sonic jewelry cleaner but I need a little bit of time to utilize that method.

I use the good aluminium and bicarb (or soda crystals) trick for this sort of thing.
Line a bowl with aluminium foil (or recycle a takeaway container). Place the thing to be cleaned in the bowl, making sure it's in good contact with the aluminium. Throw in some bicarbonate of soda (a couple of teaspoons to a takeaway container) and then add very hot water. Magic happens and all the tarnish is gone from the silver and onto the foil. Rinse the silver and it will look lovely again. Don't leave it in the solution too long though.
