It has a plastic/foam liner that cannot be removed. I use it for my cooking utensils in my kitchen and I love it but it needs to sparkle again.
Hi Gretchen. I'm Cindy. I have a method of cleaning silver. You will need: 2 bowls, 1 piece of aluminum foil, salt, and baking soda. Line a bowl with foil. Add 1 tablespoon baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt. Pour in warm water and stir. Put your silver in this solution, making sure it comes in contact with the foil. Leave in for a minute or two. Move items around a bit until they are cleaned. Add clean water in the 2nd bowl and put your items in it. After a good rinsing, lay your items out on a clean dry towel. Allow to dry and dispose the water in both bowls.
Get a quality cleaner like Weinmans (sp?) Silver cleaner. Never ever use Tarnex, it will ruin your silver.
some small silver can be cleaned with tooth paste.
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.
Line sink with aluminum foil. Dissolve spic and span in warm water. Soak items. Rinse.

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.
