      I agree word to word with Moxie on this. This really is magical! I used this on a silver Lord Ganesha idol. This idol is a very intricately designed one and I always had trouble cleaning the very intricate and delicate patterns on this. But with this great recipe, I did not have to scrub or rub AT ALL and yet even the tiniest intricate portion of the idol was clean! Another plus point of this is that my hands did not smell AT ALL unlike when I use the silver polish to clean my silver. Moreover, this costs peanuts in comparison to the silver polish at the supermarket. The results of this are really awesome. I wish I had tried this earlier, months and years back. I am so happy with this recipe!! Thanks alot for sharing:)

      What a great trick (and healthy for the environment!) It does put a nice shine on the silver. I did find I still needed to do a little polishing with a towel to get the silver sparkling, and it took a couple of baking-soda baths to remove some stubborn tarnish. But overall, this is a great tip. Thanks so much for sharing it.

      It's a bit messy - but is sure beats that smelly jar of cleaner that is recommended that you use for the same purpose. Also baking soda doesn't dry out your hands like the jar version does. (I know you are supposed to wear gloves, but I can't. I need to be able to feel what I am doing) I also looked at the price on the jar version - and if you don't want to waste your money - I highly recomment this!

      I can finally start wearing my silver jewelry again! I had to buff a little with a cloth, but overall it was a terrific techinque.

      Worked fine, I too had to do a little polishing but it got down in the grooves of some jewelery that was beginning to look antiqued, lol. Be sure and wash well after so you do not leave a residue.

      My braclet was especially tarnished. I used this method three times before most of the tarnish disolved. I still had to polish a little. It did save some labor, but I thought it might work better (due to the many positive reviews).

      Great trick! I cleaned a very old, very dirty Indian Squash Blossom necklace and it looks wonderfully new.

      This worked great. I used it on a silver necklace that I have that I haven't worn in years because I couldn't get it clean and now it is sparkling beautifully! Thanks for the great idea.

      Hey there-I thought it was great! My silver braceletts are clean, shinny and look great. It was fast, totally inexpensve and my only complaint, if you want to call it that, is it smells slightly of boiled eggs-whoopte-doo! Great trick, thanks so much for sharing! Di ;-)

      I always disliked cleaning silver because I did not like the feel of the chemicals on my skin. This works perfectly except I did have to rub a cloth over the tarnished areas. It wasn't a scrub, just a rub. Thank you for posting this "recipe" it makes my life a little simpler.

      This is so neat. I had a couple of braclets my DH gave me that I haven't worn in a few years because they were tarnished but no more. I'm sitting here with both of them on again. Thanks for this tip and I'm sure I will be using it alot from now on.

      I needed to un-tarnish something quick for tomorrow. This worked! Mine were little things with VERY CHEAP silver plating, I had to use a little toothbrush at the end, but it came out very nice...see pics.

      I actually lined my sink with the foil so I could do alot at one time and also a couple of larger items. (See photo) It worked well and quickly. I turned some of my larger pieces over and added more hot water rather than trying to cover the whole piece with water. Thanks for this great tip Missy Wombat!
