Silver again..

I used a recipe for cleaning silver.. water brought to boil with a crumpled ball of tin foil in it then adding baking soda. I did 1 TB then a bit more and a bit more.
It looked the same until I used a little bit of Silvo and the tarnish polished right off! Then it was into the dishwasher so we don't get Silvo poisoning or baking soda syndrome!
Thankful for:
We didn't!

Amazing how these old ,home-made recipes work - super results Maggie !

[Maggiemae]

@beryl You just have to have the right mood to tackle this, Beryl!

[Casablanca]

Fascinating! Butlers always used to use bicarbonate of soda and elbow grease. Well done you!

[Maggiemae]

@casablanca So I would have been at home in "Upstairs and Downstairs"?

[Mags]

Great shot of the results of your hard work! Baking soda has so many uses.

[Maggiemae]

@marlboromaam Can even help with indigestion.....

[Mags]

@maggiemae Yes, ma'am! Use it a lot for that now.

[Wylie]

looks like the hard work taken out of the polishing!

[Casablanca]

@maggiemae Mr Hudson would have been taking tips from you!

[Jane Martin]

Impressive! And what a lovely collection of silverware!

[Maggiemae]

@janemartin ...there is unfortunately a heap more than sits in another baize lined drawer and got missed. Not to worry!

[Valerie Chesney]

They look great! A job I detest....I wish mine looked like this.

[Lou Ann]

Oh my your silverware looks wonderful! I guess the first dip loosened up the tarnish for the Silvo. Always feels good to get the silver polished!

[Junko Y]

I have seen this demonstrated before -- but now am inspired to go polish my silver today, too! Thanks for info . . .

[Peter Dulis]

very nice ...

[Diana]

Thanks for the recipe, now that I don't have a char I will have to tackle it 😉

[Bep]

A beautiful collection, Maggie.

[Ann Williams]

I like how you've set them all out Maggiemae. Remember the days when my mum used to clean the brass - and smell of the Brasso.

A lovely composition and beautiful results

[Lesley Aldridge]

You have been busy! Glad you washed them and weren't poisoned!

[Linda Godwin]

All ready for fun company now.

[Sally Ings]

They certainly have come up beautifully.

[Pat Knowles]

Aren’t they so beautiful when shined...I always use just Silvo.....but hate cleaning them.

[gloria jones]

Nice still life and presentation

[Santina]

you got a good result, service returned perfect

[Maggiemae]

@louannwarren That's exactly right - it loosened the tarnish. Previous efforts with just silvo didn't work!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat I got enthused after cleaning the brass bell in a before photo!

[Myrna O'Hara]

might have to try this

[Harry J Benson]

I will have to try this – thanks for posting

[Nina Ganci]

[haskar]

[Corinne]
