I have a pair of sterling candle holders and a sterling tea server set that is tarnished pretty badlyI have tried the over the counter cleaners and it works somewhat but not as well as I would like for it toAny suggestions are most appreciated! : )

Answer:

1 sheet aluminum foil, to fit in sink 1 tablespoon baking soda 1 tablespoon salt 2 cups very hot water Combine the above ingredients in a clean kitchen sinkPut your tarnished silver and silver plated items into the sink and let sit for a few minutesWatch as the tarnish disappears from the silverware and reappears on the foilRinse extremely well with water to prevent pitting of silverplateMagic!
