I've been using this 'recipe' for a couple of years, since I saw it on a jewelry making show. It works great - gets my entire tea set (which I use for display only) shiny in a flash. I use my laundry room basin to keep the sulfur smell out of the kitchen. It gets the tarnish out of all the little curlicues without any rubbing. You can also use it for water and heat safe jewelry. I would not use it on any gemstone settings other than diamond.

This really worked like a charm. As you can tell in the pictures I submitted that my silver was in need of a miracle worker, but yet in the after picture they look lots better. It did take some scrubing and buffing in the end as I had some intricate areas to clean. Thanks a whole bunch DoryJean54....

My champagne flutes were badly tarnished. I tried this & wow! What a difference. There is a slight bad egg smell due to the chemical reactions, but nothing overwhelming. Being impatient & wanting to see results quicker, I took the tinfoil & rubbed it on the metal & my impatience was rewarded. Great recipe to sparkle up my silver. Thank you - -I will use again and again.
