This is so neat. I had a couple of braclets my DH gave me that I haven't worn in a few years because they were tarnished but no more. I'm sitting here with both of them on again. Thanks for this tip and I'm sure I will be using it alot from now on.

I needed to un-tarnish something quick for tomorrow. This worked! Mine were little things with VERY CHEAP silver plating, I had to use a little toothbrush at the end, but it came out very nice...see pics.

I agree word to word with Moxie on this. This really is magical! I used this on a silver Lord Ganesha idol. This idol is a very intricately designed one and I always had trouble cleaning the very intricate and delicate patterns on this. But with this great recipe, I did not have to scrub or rub AT ALL and yet even the tiniest intricate portion of the idol was clean! Another plus point of this is that my hands did not smell AT ALL unlike when I use the silver polish to clean my silver. Moreover, this costs peanuts in comparison to the silver polish at the supermarket. The results of this are really awesome. I wish I had tried this earlier, months and years back. I am so happy with this recipe!! Thanks alot for sharing

I actually lined my sink with the foil so I could do alot at one time and also a couple of larger items. (See photo) It worked well and quickly. I turned some of my larger pieces over and added more hot water rather than trying to cover the whole piece with water. Thanks for this great tip Missy Wombat!
