Turn tarnish removal into a kitchen science experiment! Line a bowl with aluminum foil (shiny side up), add a tablespoon each of baking soda and salt, then pour in hot water. Place your silver pieces in this magical solution, ensuring they touch the foil – this creates an electrochemical reaction where tarnish literally transfers from your silver to the aluminum! After 5-10 minutes, rinse thoroughly and dry completely. It's like watching chemistry magic happen before your eyes! For stubborn tarnish, commercial silver polish works wonders too – just follow product instructions.
