Stuff like Tarn-X, Never Dull, and the alum. foil and baking soda do work to remove tarnish, but your silver will not look good unless you use a paste polish and do it over and over till it is like a mirror. When you remove tarnish you may be removing a tiny bit of silver on silver plated items. If your spoons are sterling, don't worry about it. They will outlast you in all probability. I have a LOT of silver and never use stainless to eat with, some spoons I use every day are over 100 yrs old and still going strong. No use putting it away and not using it, unless you wrap it in a silver tarnish retardant cloth because if it just sits and the air gets to it tarnish will build up and removing the tarnish removes a tiny bit of silver. If your spoons are silver plated and the silver is wearing off in places there is a product that you can clean it with that actually puts silver back on it. Its fairly expensive and I can't remember the name of it right now, but a google search should find it. The best thing you can do is go ahead and use and enjoy your spoons but be careful not to let them sit in acidic foods for long periods of time which can cause pitting.

Well as I have said so often here the best product for all these jobs and many more is a NATURAL STONE CLEANER CREAM .It cleans Silver ,Gold, Copper, Brass, Stainless Steel , Bronze,almost all metals,gets rid of limescale gets rid of all sorts of grim and dirt even cleans windows . although news paper is the best by far.

Tarn-x makes a liquid available at grocery and K-Mart type stores, but I have to say that in my experience the paste, a soft cloth and some patience do the best job. It just depends on how detailed a job you want to do and how patterend the silver is.

In law enforcement I had to polish small collar-brass and crevices in badges, and I found a product in a navy blue can called "Never-Dull". It is a cotton type wadding that you pull off as you need a chunk and polish whatever until your piece of wadding is dirty. Then you just wipe with a clean paper towel/ cloth to polish.

mix baking soda and water and put a piece of tin foil in the bottom of the container. dip the silver in and it will come out clean.

Tarn-X works GREAT! All you is dip, rinse and then dry off. Pretty inexpensive too. Works fabulous on REAL gold and Diamonds and gems too! Wear rubber gloves to protect your nail polish and hands!

hi, I consider the ketchup theory yet in case you want to save the deep ridges in the progression darkish, for result and the impact of age, polish the exterior with newspaper. The friction and the acids in the ink does a gorgeous pastime. I continuously bear in mind my Grandad cleansing his fob watch and chain with newspaper, it continuously regarded awesome. pass
