How to Clean Silver?

• Boil the water.
• Place a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of a pan, add hot water, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. salt.
• Add silver pieces, make sure the water covers the silver pieces and silver is direct contact with aluminum foil.
• Use tongs to move the silver pieces.
• Wait until you see tiny yellow flakes in the water.
  
• Remove silver, rinse, dry, and buff with a soft cloth.
  
• This method cleans the design.

Note:

• After dried with soft cloth, Lamp was greasy. I coated with toothpaste and washed it in warm water.
• Alternate with, in a pan add aluminum foil, baking soda, salt and ad water bring it to boil add silver pieces.
• I need to repeat the process several times since my silver lamp is tarnished severely.
