There are many cleaners in the stores - Tarn-X is the one that comes to mind. Remember to use gloves and follow the directions. It does have quite an odor to it.

They a cleaning cloth from the jewelry store, no harsh residue.

Set them on a sheet of aluminum foil and put some in the bowl. Sprinkle baking soda lavishly them pour boiling water over and soak for 15 minutes. The tarnish will magically transfer to the foil!

I have numerous silver serving pieces and three different flatware patterns, so have done a lot of polishing over the years. :-> I would steer away from TarnX. It is extremely harsh and will remove the patina you want your silver to retain. Use a quality silver polish from a good jewelry store. If this is a valuable heirloom don't take chances. Quality silver polish shines and protects your silver without harsh chemicals. Spend a little extra and take the time to make sure you are giving cherished silver pieces the respect they deserve. Once you have it restored to a beautiful patina, I would suggest you invest in an anti-tarnish silver cloth. It is treated to protect your silver from tarnish and comes in various sizes. The silver will still eventually tarnish, but this is great stuff and does save you from frequent polishing. Happy shining and I hope you enjoy your pieces for many years.

If you like a natural solution you can use vinegar and baking soda. About half cup of vinegar to 2 tablespoons of baking soda. wipe on or if size permits, let it sit in it-- either way let sit on for at least an hour. then rinse

Two different ways using the same things!

I use a product called Wenol. It comes in a tube, you Will probably have to order from Amazon. It’s made in Germany. Buy both the blue tube and the red tube. One cleans and the other polishes.

Soak in a warm water solution with white vinegar and baking soda. It will foam up so leave room for it to do so. After soaking it should just wipe off with a soft cloth.
