1/2 cup – 1 cup baking soda or Borax
aluminum pan (no substitutions)
Place aluminum pan in the sink and add your sterling or plated silver. Add enough baking soda or borax to cover silverware. Pour boiling water to cover the utensils. When the tarnish disappears, remove silverware and buff with a soft cotton cloth.

This works GREAT! I had recently been reminded of this recipe on your site, and then forgot it again. Fortunately, I have “Dining on a Dime” and popped it open and found it! I am SO happy to know of a good tarnish remover that does not involve toxic chemicals. Thank You ladies SO MUCH! I love the fact that your tips, recipes, & articles are free on your website, that we don’t have to be a member of a “club” to benefit. It makes me much more likely to want to purchase special things you offer at times. I have many of your e-books as well. Love them all. Best wishes on the house hunting endeavors 🙂
