Remove tarnish from brass or silver
How can you put that sunny shine back in your tarnished silver or lacquered brass? Gently scrub it with a soft brush dipped in a bit of ammonia. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a soft cloth -- or preferably chamois.

Silver:
1) Use toothpaste instead of toxic silver cleaner to clean and brighten even your best silver. Use an old soft bristled toothbrush and warm water.
2) Rub with a paste of baking soda and water.
3) To magnetize tarnish away, soak silver in salted water in an aluminum container; then wipe clean.
4) Soak in boiling water, baking soda, salt, and a piece of aluminum foil.
5) When a quick dip for silverware is needed, prepare a solution of baking soda in tepid-cool water (l level teaspoon to a quart) and
brush with a soft toothbrush. :)

placed slightly tin foil (aluminium foil) interior the backside of a deep plastic field. Fill it with warm water. upload some tablespoons of baking powder and a pair of ozof vinegar, it is going to bubble somewhat, yet then the silver would be sparkling, there may well be some tarnish for you to use a splash elbow grease on.
