Cleaning SILVER "Select a pot large enough to hold your biggest item of silverware. Fill with sufficient water to cover the largest item to be cleaned. Bring to a boil. Lightly crumple a good sized piece of aluminum foil and place in the pot; add a sprinkling of baking soda. Submerge the silverware into the boiling pot. Be sure to have tongs handy so that you can easily remove the piece when it looks clean. This will only take a minute or so. Remove and place in hot soapy water, rinse well and towel well to remove all water spots. Your silverware should be sparkling clean without the fuss and mess and elbow grease! Hope this is the answer you sought."
