ABSTRACT
One unpleasant household chore is to clean off the tarnish on silverware. The usual method is to use a soft cloth to rub and buff the silverware. That takes muscle and patience. Fortunately, there is a better way (Figure 8.1).* Take a quart of warm water. Dissolve into it one tablespoon of water softener or washing soda and one tablespoon of salt. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil at the bottom of the water container. Now, here is the magic: immerse the silverware into the water
and
make sure that it is in contact with the aluminum foil. In seconds, the tarnish is gone. Remove the silverware. Rinse in tap water and dry and it is done!
