Cleaning Silver With Baking Soda - How To Guide

Did you know that cleaning silver with baking soda is a natural alternative to commercial silver cleaners?

In fact, using baking soda to clean silver is one of the oldest uses of baking soda there is.

This is how you do it:

Simply combine 1 1/2 cups of baking soda with 1/2 cup water, in a bowl, to make a paste.

Dip a clean soft cloth, such as a microfiber cloth, into the paste and then rub the baking soda paste onto the silver, rubbing in a circular motion.

Hint: If you have lots of detailed work in your silver you are cleaning you can also dip an old (soft) toothbrush into the paste and use this to gently rub the paste onto the silver. (Be very careful not to scatch your silver though when using a brush, since silver is very soft.)

After you have covered the silver with the baking soda paste rinse it thoroughly to remove all the paste, and then dry thoroughly.

Drying thoroughly is an important last step because you don't want your silver to tarnish again from too much moisture.
